Finite Size‐Effects in Martensite Microstructure of Magnetic Shape Memory Films

Small, EarlyView.
Magnetic shape memory alloys are a promising multifunctional material system for integration into microsystems. Their multifunctionality arises from the coexistence of ferroelasticity and ferromagnetism. While size‐effects in ferromagnetic microstructure are well understood, corresponding experiments on the ferroelastic microstructure are sparse.

Numerical Investigation of a Dual‐Mode Shape Memory Alloy Stent Enabling Secondary Expansion via Focused Ultrasound: A Potential Strategy for Correcting In‐Stent Restenosis

Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 6, 18 March 2026.
This study demonstrates a novel noninvasive strategy to treat in‐stent restenosis using focused ultrasound. A shape memory alloy stent initially expands at body temperature. If restenosis occurs, targeted ultrasound heating thermally actuates the stent, enabling a secondary expansion to reopen the blocked vessel, offering a potential alternative to ...
