抄録(英)
Laves-phase rare-earth-iron intermetallic compounds such as SmFe2 are giant magnetostrictive materials with a deformation more than 1000 ppm which are used as element of linear actuator, magnetic sensor and so on. High performance SmFe2 should be single crystal or have [111] crystal plane alignment as the same direction of the deformation and easy magnetization. However, these single crystals are very difficult to grow due to double peritectic structure formation during solidification. SmFe2 with [111] crystal plane alignment are also difficult to synthesize by solidification from the melts due to convection. In microgravity, convection in melt is suppressed, and weak magnetic flux and temperature gradient show remarkable effect. We were successful in controlling the planar structure with <111> alignment of SmFe2 by unidirectional solidification in microgravity. SmFe2 synthesized in microgravity had larger magnetostriction and more sensitive response against loaded magnetic field than that synthesized in normal gravity.
