In this work we computationally study the effect of microstructure on saturation magnetostriction of Terfenol-D (Tb$_{0.27}$Dy$_{0.73}$Fe$_{2}$) by means of Finite Element Method. The model is based on the equilibrium magnetoelastic strain tensor at magnetic saturation, and shows that the crystal orientation might play a more significant role on saturation magnetostriction than the morphology of the grains. We also calculate the dependence of saturation magnetostriction on the dispersion angle of the distribution of grains in the oriented growth crystal directions $<011>$ and $<111>$, finding that not highly oriented grain distributions reduce saturation magnetostriction significantly. This result evinces the importance of high-quality control of grain orientation in the synthesis of grain-aligned polycrystalline Terfenol-D, and provides a quantitative estimation for the range of acceptable values for the dispersion angle of the distribution of the oriented grains.
A detailed theoretical and numerical investigation of the infinitesimal single-crystal gradient plasticity and grain-boundary theory of Gurtin (2008) A theory of grain boundaries that accounts automatically for grain misorientation and grain-boundary
The optimal amount of dysprosium in the highly magnetostrictive rare-earth compounds Tb$_{1-x}$Dy$_x$Fe$_2$ for room temperature applications has long been known to be $x$=0.73 (Terfenol-D). Here, we derive this value from first principles by calcula
Previous studies have shown that the orientation relationships which develop in hetero-epitaxy are strongly influenced by the alignment of steps in the deposit with the pre-existing steps of the substrate. In this paper we use a combination of experi
We report a record low thermal conductivity in polycrystalline MoS2 obtained by varying grain sizes and orientations in ultrathin films. By optimizing the sulphurisation parameters of nanometre-thick Mo layer, we could grow MoS2 films with tuneable m
The parameters influencing the band gap of tin sulphide thin nano-crystalline films have been investigated. Both grain size and lattice parameters are known to influence the band gap. The present study initially investigates each contribution individ
