Remarkably Distinct Mechanical Flexibility in Three Structurally Similar Semiconducting Organic Crystals Studied by Nanoindentation and Molecular Dynamics

Distinct macroscopic mechanical responses of the three crystals of naphthalene diimide derivatives, 1Me, 1Et, and 1nPr, studied here are very intriguing because their molecular structures are very similar, with the difference only in the alkyl chain length. Among the three crystals examined, 1Me sho...
