| description | Abstract Ni–Mn–Ga single crystals (SC) exhibiting a giant magnetic field induced strain (MFIS), resulting from twin boundaries rearrangements, are excellent materials for novel actuators although enhanced brittleness and high costs are remaining the issues for applications. In polycrystalline state Ni–Mn–Ga alloys show small MFIS due to grain boundary constraints. By simple size reduction of the mentioned materials it is hardly possible to create quasi-two-dimensional MFIS actuators on the microscale with a pertinent out-of-plane performance. In pursuit of the trend for next generation materials and functions by design, in the present work we have developed a laminate composite as a prototype of microactuator with the out-of-plane stroke being driven by a framework of magnetostrain responsive Ni–Mn–Ga microparticles. The laminate consisted of the layer of crystallographically oriented Ni–Mn–Ga semi-free SC microparticles sandwiched between bonding polymer and Cu foils. Such design provided a particles isolation with a minimum constraint condition from the polymer. MFIS of the individual particles and the whole laminate composite was investigated by X-ray micro-CT 3D imaging. Both particles and laminate exhibited the same recoverable out-of-plane stroke produced by the particles´ MFIS of around 3% under 0.9 T. The developed microactuator design is promising for applications in the areas of micro-robotics, optical image stabilization in cameras, pumps for microfluidics etc. |
