Magnetostrictive materials are usually used in sensor technology since they are sensitive to magnetization and strain. Unfortunately, to date, only a few magnetostrictive materials are being used, as the need for a strong magnetic field (1 T) and not sensitive at a low magnetic field. Thus, in this...
