Penn research helps uncover mechanism behind solid-solid phase transitions
University Park PA (SPX) Sep 23, 2014 - Two solids made of the same elements but with different geometric arrangements of the atoms, or crystal phases, can produce materials with different properties. Coal and diamond offer a spectacular example of this effect. While it is well known that one crystal phase can transform into another under the right circumstances, the mechanisms that facilitate solid-to-solid transitions are stil ... more
