Inverted-Pyramidal Microcrystals Embedded in an Amorphous Matrix through High-Pressure Reactive Epitaxy

High-pressure phases are often unstable at ambient pressure and amorphize during decompression, making their direct recovery as crystalline materials difficult. Here, we demonstrate a route for synthesizing crystalline particles embedded in an amorphous matrix using an unstable high-pressure phase as a transient reac...
