Description
Summary:In a recent paper (G. Muscas ),1 the magnetomechanical behavior of cobalt (Co) magnetic nanowire arrays on a polymeric substrate (polyethylene naphthalate (PEN)) under bending was measured by magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE) magnetometry . The authors showed that the magnetomechanical effects were very small and assigned this result to a low effective magnetostriction coefficient due to the nanostructuring. In this comment, we show by numerical calculations that it is the ongoing/current stress distribution within the system that generates this effect. Indeed, the nanostructures being very rigid with respect to the compliant substrate, the strains are mainly concentrated in the substrate and less than 3% of the macroscopic stress is transmitted to the nanostructures.
