The alloys put on outstanding performances as sensors and actuators, and so are of enormous interest to scientists and engineers interested in smart materials. Of the nearly 100 papers, 28 were selected and peer-reviewed for publication here. Paralleling conference sessions, they are presented in sections on basic phenomena and theory, structure and magnetic properties, magnetomechanics and magnetocaloric effect, thin films and composites, modeling and simulations, and processing and engineering. Among the topics are the symmetry-conforming theory of Martensite aging, magnetic metamagnetic shape memory alloys based on nickel and manganese, recent developments in nickel-manganese-gallium foam research, the fabrication and magnetic properties of cobalt-nickel-aluminum ferromagnetic shape memory alloy thin films, the thermodynamic modeling of actuators, and nano-positioning.
