Magnetoelectric (ME) effect experimentally discovered about 60 years ago remains one of
the promising research fields with the main applications in microelectronics and sensors …

Magnetostrictive alloys have attracted increasing attention in biomedical applications
because of the ability to generate reversible deformation in the presence of external …

Local chemical ordering (LCO) can exert pronounced effects on both structural and
functional properties, tailoring LCO domains at (sub-) nanoscale could offer an alternative …

The stress-induced reorientation of the low-symmetry defects due to substitution atom pairs
can give rise to an internal friction peak (Zener relaxation) and the first-nearest-neighbor …

The discovery of a tenfold increase in magnetostriction of Fe by alloying nonmagnetic Ga
was a breakthrough in magnetostrictive materials. The large magnetostriction is attributed to …

Large and sensitive magnetostriction (large strain induced by small magnetic fields) is highly
desired for applications of magnetostrictive materials. However, it is difficult to …

The effect of anisotropic interfacial strain on epitaxial growth and optical emission of sodium
rare‐earth fluoride core–shell nanoparticles is investigated. A variety of sodium rare‐earth …

Precipitation of dispersive nanoparticles has recently been found to yield superfunctional
properties, such as the large and sensitive magnetostriction in body-centered-cubic (bcc) Fe …

Up to now, the formation mechanism of tetragonal nanoprecipitates that may dominate the
large magnetostriction of Fe–Ga alloys remains unclear. Here we found that both L6 0-and …

This review article is devoted to studies of the structure and properties of Fe–Ga alloys that
serve as functional materials with high magnetostriction. Particular attention is paid to …
