Abstract
Transmission electron microscopy has been utilized to study the low temperature phase transformation in pyrene. The transformation proceeds via an interface, lying on approximately (110) planes, and is similar to the martensitic-like transformation seen in other organic crystals. Domains of the room temperature phase are still present at temperatures 100 K below the transition temperature.Keywords
