The shape memory effect (SME) and magnetic shape memory effect (MSME) Fe-Pd thin film are using the film curvature method. The corresponding residual stress change due to theSME and MSME in Fe-Pd film is measuredduring thermal cycling and magnetic field changing. AFe-Pd thin film with a lateral composition gradient is deposited onto micromachined x7 cantilever beam arraysubstrate,such that each of the cantilever beams is coated with a film of different composition.There is abrupt stress change in only .1 at % Pd as the temperature of the film is cycled, and the corresponding stress change was measured as 0.16 GPa. The film with .4 at % Pd showsthe abrupt stress change at 0.7 Tesla, which means that the composition has the MSME.

Magnetic shape memory effect is general name for several effects in which the most visible feature is huge strain induced by magnetic field. Magnetic field-induced structure reorientation (MIR) occurs due to motion of twin boundaries in single phase. As the magnetic field is a relatively weak force compared with mechanical stress, very high mobility of twin boundaries is crucial. Here we study the properties of martensite relevant for this effect using X-ray diffraction, optical and electron microscopy, magnetic observation and mechanical testing. In 10M modulated martensite, two types of mobile twin boundary (type I and type II) are observed with complex layered microstructures consisting of a hierarchy of twinning systems. We search for analogue with non-magnetic Cu-Ni-Al shape memory alloy.

AbstractA mechanism for shape memory alloys driven by a magnetic field is proposed. The mechanism involves the motion of twin dislocations in response to the application of a magnetic field. As a consequence, twin variants oriented favorably with respect to the magnetic field direction will grow. The maximum pressure that can be exerted at the twin dislocations is when the magnetic field is at angle . The shape memory effect is significantly affected by the presence of impurities, second-phase particles and grain boundaries

We study the effect of surface modifications and constraints on the mechanical properties of Ni-Mn- Ga single crystals, which are imposed by (i) structural modifications near the surface, (ii) mounting to a solid surface, and (iii) guiding the stroke. Spark eroded samples were electropolished and characterized before and after each polishing treatment. Surface damage was then produced with spark erosion and abrasive wearing. Surface damage stabilizes and pins a dense twin-microstructure and prevents twins from coarsening. The density of twins increases with increasing degree of surface deformation. Twinning stress and hardening rate during mechanical loading increase with increasing surface damage and twin density. In contrast, when a damaged surface layer is removed, twinning stresses, hardening rate, and twin density decrease. Constraining the sample by mounting and guiding reduces the magnetic-field-induced strain by locking twins at the constrained surfaces. . For single-domain crystals and for hard magnetic shape-memory alloys, external constraints strongly reduce the magnetic-field-induced strain and the fatigue lifetime is short. In contrast, for selfaccommodated martensite and for soft magnetic shape-memory alloys, the twin-microstructure adapts well to external constraints and the fatigue lifetime is long. The performance of devices with MSMA transducers requires managing stress distributions through design and control of surface properties, microstructure, and constraints.
