Abstract
A twin boundary of an organic single crystal can move easily under a small stress. The boundary motion is intermittent, even under a constant stress. The local velocity depends not only on external stress but also on the wait ing time before the onset of motion. The present system is considered as a simple system of dry Friction between two commensurate lattices. We found s ome similarities between the twin boundary motion and solid/solid dry frict ion.
