Pressure-induced reversal of Peierls-like distortions elicits the polyamorphic transition in GeTe and GeSe

Abstract While polymorphism is prevalent in crystalline solids, polyamorphism draws increasing interest in various types of amorphous solids. Recent studies suggested that supercooling of liquid phase-change materials (PCMs) induces Peierls-like distortions in their local structures, underlying thei...
