High-magnetostriction lanthanide alloys could only be made in non-aqueous, molten-salt systems. The fielded alternatives were flat-only ribbon, line-of-sight films under a micron thick, or brittle bulk, and none of them could be built into a chip.
A NiFeCo-Lanthanide alloy deposited from standard aqueous solution. It is MEMS-compatible, coats any geometry conformally, and grows from 50 nm to over 1 mm thick.
