Notes:
The feasibility of adapting scanning tunneling microscope (STM) technology to investigate the transition from reversible to irreversible behavior in mechanical systems is demonstrated. Using an STM with a graphite sample, both regimes of reversible and irreversible response to electrostrictive cycling are observed.
