Magnetic shape memory (MSM) materials have received much attention in actuator applications due to their large strains and short response times. However, their potential as an alternative to conventional magnetostrictors in sensor systems has not been studied so far. A FePd single crystal was characterized by EDX, VSM, DSC and temperature dependent XRD analysis. The magnetic field induced strain under different compressive loads was studied at temperatures ranging from 0 to -40°C and magnetic field induced actuation and twin boundary movement were confirmed and quantified by temperature dependent optical observation in the austenitic and martensitic state. Additional features of the role of magnetic domains on the MSM repsonse will be presented.
