Abstract

Magnetostrictive materials were investigated as a means to correct the shape of a thin-wall X-ray telescope surface. Sputter-deposited magnetostrictive films on the glass and Ni substrate were prepared to realize the requirement of deformation under an external magnetic field. The profiles of thin-film specimens were measured under an external magnetic field with White Light Interferometry. The distribution of the external magnetic field around the specimen in the experiments was discussed. In addition, a theoretical analysis was conducted to calculate the residual stress in the specimen and the possible deformation generated by the magnetic field. Preliminary experimental results confirmed that the magnetic field had an effect on the deformation of the magnetostrictive thin film bimorph prepared by sputter-deposition. Directions for future work were presented towards the goal of enabling the application of magnetostrictive thin film as an adaptive optics for X-ray mirrors.
