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

open access: yesSmall, 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.

CONSULTANCY STATE: Government as (a) Service and the Anti‐politics of Technological Expertise in Indian Cities

open access: yesInternational Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract This article analyses ideas of ‘good governance through technology’ in India that first emerged from the software industry, symbolizing state support for the ‘new middle‐class’ values of liberalized private enterprise. We suggest that the contemporary prominence of consulting firms in government represents a second transformation that embeds ...
