Presentation: Smart Materials are Clean Too

Heusler alloys are one group called smart materials. They demonstrate magnetic shape memory effect, as well as the ability to simultaneously convert alternative energy or refrigerate under a moderate magnetic field, based on the concept of giant magneto-caloric effect (GMCE). The talk will focus on explaining the concepts behind these attractive properties and the state of the art in the field.

A tour of selected university laboratories will precede the technical presentation for those interested.
