摘要
Giant magnetostrictive materials are a kind of functional materials developed since 1970s, known as their large magnetostrain and high energy density. In this paper, an introduction of magnetostriction and the history of magnetostrictive materials are described firstly. Then we review the recent developments of both rare earth and non-rare earth magnetostrictive materials. Finally, the tendency of developing new giant magnetostrictive materials is presented.
