Ferromagnetic shape memory alloys, exhibiting large recoverable strain and rapid frequency response, appear to be promising shape memory actuator material. These materials exhibit large shape memory effect associating with martensitic transformation, and magneticfield-induced strain in the martensite state. The recent development in researches on NiMnGa, NiFeGa, and CoNiGa in our group is briefly reviewed. The perspectives of the ferromagnetic shape memory alloy are also described. q
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
