5. 5 M.Rotter „Magnetostriction“ Course Lorena 2007 Magnetic Shape Memory Effect Principle of magnetic field induced re- orientation of martensitic variants. Ferromagnetic shape memory alloys (FSMA) are smart materials possessing not only ferromagnetic as well as thermal shape memory properties but also large magnetic field induced strains. In single crystalline Ni 2 MnGa bulk material, strains as large as 10% have been realized.
