Scope and Format
The exponential publication record during last 20 years shows that the magnetic shape memory science and the development of the Ferromagnetic shape memory alloys (FSMAs) may be counted as a well-established interdisciplinary research field in smart materials and solid state physics. The first International Conference on FSMAs (ICFSMA-07) launched successfully in Kolkata, India, evoked a general interest in placing such a forum on a regular basis.
The aim of the conference is to generate an overview of world-wide R&D in the field of magnetic shape memory alloys and related phenomena. Emphasis will be given to the role of these materials in fundamental studies and their relevance in modern new technologies. ICFSMA'09 provides an excellent opportunity to bring together scientists and engineers from universities, research institutes and industry to present and discuss their most recent results covering both fundamental and applied aspects FSMA's as well as to identify future collaborations.
