Atomic-undercoordination-induced local bond contraction, bond strength gain, and the associated temperature (T)-dependent atomic-cohesive-energy and binding-energy-density are shown to originate intrinsically the exotic paradox of superplasticity, superelasticity, and superrigidity demonstrated by s...
