## Abstract

Mechanically induced crystallographic phase transformation that reflects dynamic stress responses of intrinsically stochastic nature is a pertinent yet much less well-understood phenomenon. We focus on understanding the physical significance of stochasticity and how it can enable inference of principles underlying a crystallographic phase transformation. For interpreting the mechanical responses, a statistical approach of mapping the transformation dynamics to a probabilistic escape of crystallographic states defined on a free energy landscape is shown to reliably explain the patterns of response. We demonstrate that stochastic responses associated with a structural phase transformation can offer a reliable quantitative tool for unravelling the energy profile, intrinsic kinetics, and microscopic details of solid-to-solid crystallographic transitions.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
