Shape-memory effects in molecular crystals

Molecular crystals can be bent elastically by expansion or contraction on opposite faces, or plastically by delamination into slabs that glide along slip planes. Here the authors report crystals that can be bent plastically while undergoing a mechanically induced phase transition without delaminatio...

Description
Summary:Molecular crystals can be bent elastically by expansion or contraction on opposite faces, or plastically by delamination into slabs that glide along slip planes. Here the authors report crystals that can be bent plastically while undergoing a mechanically induced phase transition without delamination.
