Hidden Hierarchical Pathways Enable Controllable Phase Transitions in Organic Molecular Crystals (IMAGE)
Caption
Figure. Stimulus-dependent navigation of a hierarchical phase-transition landscape. Mechanical grinding converts the α1 crystal into an amorphous intermediate, while thermal activation drives the system toward the β1 crystal phase. The schematic energy landscape illustrates how different external stimuli access distinct pathways and metastable states, enabling controllable structural transformations in molecular crystals.
