Micrometer‐sized defects, induced by laser ablation, radically change the spatiotemporal dynamics of a first‐order structural phase transition, in this case of a spin crossover material. This type of “domain engineering” is thus based on artificial defects, such as that in the image, which can serve either as nucleation sites or as pinning sites. The subsequent growth of the nucleated domains can...
The image shows a snapshot of the propagation of the phase boundary during the spin transition in a single crystal of a ferrous spin‐crossover complex. A micrometric surface‐relief defect was laser‐ablated in the middle of the crystal by G. Molnár, A. Bousseksou, and coworkers, in order to manipulate the spatiotemporal dynamics of the spin transition. This type of ‘domain engineering’ opens up novel...
