Crystal Structures at High Pressures of Metallic Modifications of Silicon and Germanium

Key Points

Key points are not available for this paper at this time.

Abstract

Studies of germanium and silicon by x-ray diffraction reveal that their crystal structure changes at high pressures from the semiconducting diamond-type structure to the metallic white tin structure, in analogy to the known "gray" to "white" transition in tin itself.
