[/su_column][/su_row] Ferromagnetic shape memory alloys (FSMA) such as off-stoichiometric Ni-Mn-Ga Heusler compounds, show the “magnetic-field-induced strain” (MFIS) effect, which is due to the mobile martensitic microstructure and the strong coupling between elastic and magnetic properties. Due to their high power density, these materials have a great potential to be used in magnetic MEMS. In the present work we overview recent advances in submicron FSMAs thin films. Particular emphasis is given to the structure of the films and to their magnetic anisotropy. Polycrystalline films deposited onto cold substrates have (220) out-of-plane fiber texture. Films grown onto hot substrates have epitaxial structures. The symmetry and strength of the magnetic anisotropy (MA) of the films have been studied by ferromagnetic resonance (FMR). They are controlled by the film crystallography, the martensitic nanostructure, the type of substrate and film thickness. The effect of the substrate in the anisotropy is demonstrated by comparing the in plane MA for a Ni-Mn-Ga film grown onto NaCl (001) and the out of plane oblique anisotropy in an identical film with the same texture deposited onto Si (001). Another important factor determining the MA is the film-substrate stress that determines the transformation volume strain. A reduction of the MA by one order of magnitude is found by FMR in single crystalline Ni-Mn-Ga films onto MgO (100). These results are explained in the framework of a magnetoelastic model of the martensite involving second- and forth-order magnetic anisotropy constants, which, thereof, can be evaluated from the experimental data. In these films the estimated value of the magnetic domain wall width is comparable with the width of the twins, indicating that the magnetic moment in neighbor twins are strongly coupled by the exchange interaction. Applications of single and double beam Si cantilevers, with deposited submicron Ni-Mn-Ga films are briefly discussed.Related news
