Abstract
Plate shaped Fe–Al alloy crystals were successfully grown using the µ-PD method. The orientation and grain size could be controlled by using the well oriented Fe0.95Al0.05 seed crystal. The as-grown Fe0.82Al0.18 and Fe0.80Al0.20 showed the magnetostriction 3/2λ = 121 and 149 ppm, respectively, which is comparable to the values for single crystal samples grown by the Bridgman-Stockbarger method. Distributions of Fe and Al were homogenous along the growth direction within standard deviations of 0.35% and 1.3%, respectively. A prototype vibration energy harvester was demonstrated using the grown Fe–Al alloys.
