Theory of sorption hysteresis in nanoporous solids: Part I Snap-through instabilities

The sorption–desorption hysteresis observed in many nanoporous solids, at vapor pressures low enough for the liquid (capillary) phase of the adsorbate to be absent, has long been vaguely attributed to some sort of ‘pore collapse’. However, the pore collapse has never been documented experimentally a...
