Single-crystalline intermetallic compound CaFe₂As₂ are known to exhibit both superelasticity and micaceous plasticity, but these phenomena have not been studied in detail. Here we report a study of the elastic and plastic deformation behaviors for CaFe₂As₂ single crystals grown in Sn-flux solution. The anisotropic mechanical response has been studied using micropillar compression tests performed in-situ within a scanning electron microscope. Further, these data are compared with density functional theory calculations to develop an understanding of micaceous plasticity in terms of strongly anisotropic generalized stacking fault energies. The results of this work will offer design guidelines to produce mechanically robust superelastic structures.
