Funded Activity Summary

Comparative Study of MnAs and Co-Based Magnetoelastic Functional Materials. Magnetoelastic materials are an emerging new class of functional materials with great potential in a wide range of innovative applications including smart structures, sensors and actuators, microelectronics, micro-electromechanical systems, and medical engineering. The study of magnetoelastic materials is still in its infancy and a great effort is required to develop them into practical materials for engineering application. This study aims to investigate two promising candidate materials: CoNi and MnAs. Expected outcomes include the characterisation of their functional properties and understanding of the mechanisms of magnetoelasticity in these materials. Such understanding is expected to contribute to the development of practical magnetoelastic materials and their applications.
