Self-Healing and Shape Memory Effects in Gold Microparticles through the Defects-Mediated Diffusion
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/advs.201700159 Abstract: Some metal alloys subjected to irreversible plastic deformation can repair the inflicted damage and/or recover their original shape upon heating. The conventional shape memory effect in metallic alloys relies on collective, or “military” phase transformations. This work demonstrates a new and fundamentally different type of self-healing and shape memory in single crystalline faceted […]
