Additional information
The property of magnetostriction is utilized to make a highly robust and sensitive magnetic sensor - a sensor that is only 450 nm thick and 100 um long, replacing traditional sensors that are several millimeters thick. By demonstrating the usability of the weak piezoresistance in such materials, the form factor for such sensors is drastically reduced, whilst the measurement itself is much simplified. This work was funded by DARPA to help reduce form factors (which we achieved) of this critical sensing element, and has since led directly to the award of my first grant (EPSRC EP/J00541X/1).
