Magneto-elastic interaction increases dramatically acoustic nonlinearity of solids near spin reorientation instability [1]. Manifestations of giant effective anharmonisity of magnetic crystals such as: dynamic elasticity control, elastic mode conversion, instability of collective oscillation type, multiple bistability, quasi-periodic transitions in nonlinear acoustic excitations are demonstrated in the present paper [2]. Rare earth thin films with giant magnetostriction are of interest for actuation of modern micro-electro-mechanical systems. The results of studies of nonlinear dynamic properties of rare earth mulilayered nanostructures N*(TbFe/Fe) are presented. Magneto-elastic anomalies near spin reorientation transition are found experimentally and described theoretically [3]. The strongly nonlinear phenomena of quasi-static switch of deformation and sub-harmonic excitations of elastic modes are considered. Magnetic control of elasticity in solids is an advantageous principle of stimulated parametric emission of phase conjugate ultrasound waves [4]. The problem of output power [5] and bandwidth of magneto-acoustic phase conjugator is discussed. 1. V.I.Ozhogin, V.L.Preobrazhensky. Journ. Magn. & Magn. Materials.100,544( 1991).  2.
