Magnetic shape-memory effects in a crystal [PDF]
Nature, 2002 Magnetic fields affect the motion of electrons and the orientation of spins in solids, but are thought to have little impact on crystal structure, particularly in compounds with low magnetic susceptibility, such as antiferromagnets. Here we describe an unexpected magnetic effect on crystal shape, in which the direction of the crystal's axes are swapped

Triple-shape memory effect in 3D-printed polymers
eXPRESS Polymer Letters, 2020 A triple-shape memory effect represents that polymers can memorize two temporary shapes and show a subsequent recovery from the second temporary shape to the first temporary shape and further to the permanent shape with heating, which provides more ...

Shape-memory effects in molecular crystals [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2019 AbstractMolecular crystals can be bent elastically by expansion or plastically by delamination into slabs that glide along slip planes. Here we report that upon bending, terephthalic acid crystals can undergo a mechanically induced phase transition without delamination and their overall crystal integrity is retained.
