Abstract

We investigated the responses of three representative molecular solids to swift heavy ion irradiation at high pressures. The coupled extreme conditions induce markedly different changes, including polymerization, decomposition, and phase transitions. This synergistic approach offers a promising route for designing novel materials with distinct structures and properties.
