Low-temperature, solid-phase transformations initiated by mechanical breakdown
Low-temperature, solid-phase transformation in a vitreous chlorine-methyl cyclohexane system activated by irradiation is investigated. It is shown that the formation of cracks in a monolithic sample at low temperatures (4.2 K.-77 K) initiates a transformation that is developed subsequently. New cracks, which accelerate the transformation that accounts for its explosive nature, appear during the process.
