Abstract:
Low-dose high-resolution integrated differential phase contrast scanning transmission electron microscopy (iDPC-STEM) directly visualizes the breathing behavior of flexible MIL-88B. Solvent-induced breathing involves anisotropic lattice deformation, cooperative linker tilting, and cluster reorientation, while localized screw dislocations reveal defect-assisted strain accommodation during large-amplitude framework expansion.
