Applications • Ferroelastic materials could be useful for nanotechnology. • The behavior of natural minerals could be greatly influenced by their ferroelastic microstructures.
Nanotechnology Aird et al., 1998
Geologic Impacts Salje et al., 1998 Salje et al., 1998
Conclusions • The domain walls formed during ferroelastic phase transitions exhibit much different properties than the domains that they separate. • The properties of domains and their walls could be very useful in mineral physics and mineralogy research.
