    Abstract In order to enhance the magnetostrictive property in Galfenol by the doping of the third elements, rare earth elements of Y, La, Ce, and Pr were added into Fe 81 Ga 19 alloy in this research. Although the solubility limit of the rare earth elements was quite small, enhancement of the saturation magnetostriction of Fe 81 Ga 19 was confirmed in all the doped specimens. The specimen with doping Pr showed the highest magnetostriction of 174.9 ppm which was almost four times larger than the Fe-Ga pristine alloy.

    Anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) and temperature dependence of electronic resistivity along the [100], [011], and [111] orientations were investigated in the bulk single crystal of Co2MnGe, which has been considered as one of the typical half-metallic ferromagnets (HMFs). Negative AMR was observed for all crystal orientations across temperatures ranging from 6 to 300 K, consistent with theoretical predictions for HMFs, and the values were small, with in the range of 0.08%–0.3% exhibiting no sensitivity to temperature. Temperature-dependent resistivity revealed that the electron–phonon scattering was the dominant mechanism across the entire measured temperature range, exhibiting T5 behavior at low temperatures and linear temperature behavior at higher temperatures for all crystal orientations. The absence of electron–magnon scattering and scattering process of s↑ → d↓ further supports the half-metallic nature of Co2MnGe.

    The application of spin–current volume effect (SVE) with volume magnetostriction of iron gallium (FeGa) films is examined for micro-diaphragm actuation. A silicon diaphragm measuring 1.5 × 1.5 mm2 is coated with Pt (100-nm-thick) and FeGa (100-nm-thick) thin films. An alternating charge current passed through the FeGa/Pt/Si diaphragm under a magnetic field perpendicular to the charge current generates an alternating spin current via the spin Hall effect in the Pt film, transferring angular momentum from the Pt film to the FeGa film. The injected spin current provides energy and changes the effective temperature, thereby varying the thermal fluctuation of the magnetic moments. In a magnetic material with volume magnetostriction, the thermal fluctuation of the magnetic moments affects its volume. When the spin fluctuations change, the volume magnetostriction induces a corresponding expansion or contraction of the material. Both electrodeposited and ion-beam sputter-deposited FeGa films are investigated, and it is observed that the FeGa film exhibits SVE. The force generated by the SVE is evaluated based on the vibration amplitude at the fundamental resonant mode. This study demonstrates that the force generated by the SVE is correlated with the volume magnetostriction and the deposition process.

    Iron-Gallium alloy (Galfenol) is one of the super magnetostriction materials, and the magnetic, mechanical and magnetostrictive properties of the Galfenol thin films are important for microactuator applications. Galfenol thin films prepared by sputtering and electrodeposition are evaluated and compared. The electrodeposited Galfenol thin film shows large mechanical stiffness. The sputtered Galfenol thin film exhibits a smaller coercive force and higher magnetostriction coefficient.

    Nowdays, it’s still challenging to verify the effectiveness of electrotherapies on diseases. Improper usage of electrotherapy can cause irreversible damage to patients. To model electrotherapy, we propose a skin phantom to analogize and substitute a real human skin for in vitro tests. The skin phantom is composed of a gelatin film covered by a SU-8 photoresist with patterned holes for analogizing real human skins. A prototype was fabricated by using micromachining and laser ablation techniques. In contrast to conventional skin phantoms, the proposed phantom had well-defined holes for analogizing the sweat pores of real human skins. The phantom was characterized mechanically and electrically to demonstrate its similar physical properties to those of real human skins. Its biocompatibility was also verified with 3T3 cell culture. The proposed phantom is expected to be beneficial for electrical stimulation studies and associated bio-medical applications.
