“…Curiously, the large magnetostriction of single crystalline Dy and Tb, which was found in 1970s, proved to be accompanied by a giant magnetoplastic deformation ( The amount of publications displayed in Fig.1 as the black columns are related to the other FSMA systems such as Fe-Pd [31,38,39], Fe 3 Pt [31,39], Ni-Mn-(Al, Sn, Sb, In) [18,[40][41][42][43], Co-Ni-(Al, Ga) [44][45][46][47][48] and Ni-Fe-(Al,Ga) [49][50][51][52][53]. The black part of the diagram in Fig.1 and overview articles [54,55] prove an increasing interest towards the alternative systems as well.…”
