About this book
This book systematically describes the fundamentals of Magnetic shape memory alloys (MSMAs), with an emphasis on low-dimensional structures such as foams, microwires and micro-particles. The respective chapters address basic concepts and theories, the fabrication of various architectures, microstructure tailoring, property optimization and cutting-edge applications. Taken together, they provide a clear understanding of the correlation between processing and the microstructural properties of MSMAs, which are illustrated in over two hundred figures and schematics. Given its scope and format, the book offers a valuable resource for a broad readership in various fields of materials science and engineering, especially for researchers, students and engineers.

About the authors
Dr. Xuexi Zhang obtained his doctorate from Harbin Institute of Technology in 2003. He is now a full professor at the School of Materials Science and Engineering, Harbin Institute of Technology (China). He is one of the pioneering scientists in the field of low-dimensional magnetic shape memory alloys (MSMAs) including foams, microwires and particles. He is also interested in light-weight aluminum alloy composites reinforced by fibers, whiskers and particles for strong but light components. He has published over 120 peer-reviewed journal articles and more than 40 patents in these fields. His main research interests include (1) preparation of Ni-Mn-based MSMA foams with tailored pore architecture for multicaloric effects, (2) synthesis, microstructure and caloric effects of Ni-Mn-based MSMA microwires, (3) study the correlation between architecture—microstructure—property in MSMAs, (4) high-throughput synthesis and characterization of light-weight aluminum alloy composites.
