Abstract
In this work, Meisenheimer et al. use careful epitaxial growth of FeGa thin films to achieve a metastable state with remarkably high magetostrictive coefficients. Materials with strong magnetostrictive properties are vital components in magnetoelectric multiferroic heterostructures, with considerable potential for use a variety of technologies.
