Diffusive and martensitic nucleation kinetics in solid-solid transitions of colloidal crystals

Solid-solid transitions between different crystalline structures have broad implications in earth science, steel and ceramic materials. Penget al. show a transformation pathway that starts off as being martensitic then switches to diffusive at the single particle level in a colloidal system under pr...
