Room-temperature oxygen vacancy migration induced reversible phase transformation during the anelastic deformation in CuO

The effect of point defects on mechanical behaviour of materials is generally considered at high temperatures. This work reports a reversible stress-induced migration of point defects during anelastic deformation in CuO nanowires at room temperature resulting from heterogeneous strain distribution.
