Abstract
Nanoindentation has extensively been used to measure the mechanical properties of molecular crystals. However, the possibilities of stress induced polymorphic transformation during indentation are still unexplored. Here, we have adopted a spatially synchronized Raman spectroscopy and nanoindentation technique to probe indentation induced polymorphic transformation in aspirin polymorphs. Spatial hardness maps, generated using an accelerated property mapping technique, showed micro-domain formation in aspirin form II crystals.
