Abstract

This Letter reports on the first observation of depinning under hydrostatic pressure of the guest and host sublattices inside the aperiodic nonadecane-urea inclusion compound. This leads to a unique way for a direct determination of the one-dimensional interguest interaction (1 N/m for nonadecane).
