title: Determination of the magnetostrictive response of nanoparticles via magnetoelectric measurements.
abstract: It is successfully demonstrated that nanoparticle's magnetostriction can be accurately determined based on the magnetoelectric effect measured on polymeric composite materials. This represents a novel, simple and versatile method for the determination of particle's magnetostriction at the nano scale and in their dispersed state, which has been, up to now, a difficult and imprecise task.
