Ferromagnetic materials, including ferromagnetic shape memory alloys (FSMAs or MSMAs), are subject to demagnetization. Because of this demagnetization, the MSMA literature is inconsistent with regards to where the applied magnetic field should be measured experimentally. In addition, many researcher...
