Solids do not evaporate, they Sublimate, i.e. they go directly from the solid state to a vapor. An example this process would be if you gently heat Iodine crystals, you will see purplish vapors begin to form ... it's sublimating.
CAUTIONIf you try this, do it only in fume hood and with a very small sample of Iodine. The fumes are poisonous!
