X-ray-diffraction patterns, macroscopic compressibility, and crystallization in amorphous Se subject to pressure have been investigated. The material exhibits pressure-induced structural modifications in the glassy state and a phase transformation to the hexagonal phase at 120±{}20 kbar. The observations are discussed on the basis of microscopic and thermodynamic models.
