The magnetic shape memory effect can be classified as an example of the multiferroic effect
combining ferro-elasticity and (ferro) magnetism. After short overview of all known effects the …

The huge strains that Ni–Mn–Ga magnetic shape memory alloys can achieve are usually
described in a tetragonal unit cell approximation of a five-layered modulated (10M) crystal …

Modulated phases occur in numerous functional materials like giant ferroelectrics and
magnetic shape-memory alloys. To understand the origin of these phases, we employ and …

The ability of Heusler alloys to accommodate broad variations of composition, doping, and
ordering provides multiple options for tailoring their ferromagnetic and ferroelastic …

Ni-Mn-based metamagnetic shape-memory alloys exhibit a giant thermal response to
magnetic fields and uniaxial stress which can be utilized in single caloric or multicaloric …

For the first time, the 7M modulated structure, frequently observed in ferromagnetic shape
memory Ni–Mn–Ga martensitic phases, is solved by powder diffraction analysis. Two …

Magnetic skyrmions belong to a set of topologically nontrivial spin textures at the nanoscale
that have received increased attention due to their emergent behavior and novel potential …

In the present work, modulated four-and five-layered orthorhombic, seven-layered
monoclinic (4O, 10M and 14M) and unmodulated double tetragonal (L10) martensites are …

Abstract Ni-Mn-Ga magnetic shape memory alloy (SMA) micro-trusses, suitable for high
magnetic field induced strains and/or a large magnetocaloric effect, are created via a new …

Low twinning stress (TS) is a prerequisite for magnetic shape memory functionality in
ferromagnetic martensites. We compare Ni 50 Mn 28 Ga 22 (nominal at.%) single crystals …
