Investigations of the Crystallographic Orientation on the Martensite Variant Reorientation of the Single-Crystal Ni-Mn-Ga Cube and Its Composites for Actuator Applications

High-speed actuators are greatly required in this decade due to the fast development of future technologies, such as Internet-of-Things (IoT) and robots. The ferromagnetic shape memory alloys (FSMAs), whose shape change could be driven by applying an external magnetic field, possess a rapid response...
