Article Synopsis
- Researchers are exploring the significant shape changes in thermosalient materials, which have potential uses in actuators and sensors, but the mechanisms behind these changes remain unclear.
- A study has identified the order parameter for the phase transition in a specific molecular crystal, revealing that the transition barrier disappears at its transition temperature.
- The research combines computational simulations and experimental methods, showing that specific vibrational modes relate to the phase transition, and suggests that applying a computational THz pulse can induce this phase change quickly.
