Stress-Induced Martensitic Transformation in Na<sub>3</sub>YCl<sub>6</sub>
Martensitic transformation with volume expansion plays a crucial role in enhancing the mechanical properties of steel and partially stabilized zirconia. We believe that a similar concept could be applied to unexplored nonoxide materials. Herein, we report the stress-induced martensitic transformation of monoclinic Na<sub>3</sub>YCl<sub>6</sub> with an ∼3.4% expansion. In situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction and atomistic simulations showed that anisotropic crystallographic transformation from monoclinic to rhombohedral Na<sub>3</sub>YCl<sub>6</sub> occurs exclusively under uniaxial pressure; no effect is observed under hydrostatic pressure conditions. The uniaxially pressed powder compact of monoclinic Na<sub>3</sub>YCl<sub>6</sub> showed a large indentation impression and low Young's modulus, in contrast to its high bulk modulus, suggesting that these unique mechanical properties are induced by the martensitic transformation.
