A density-driven phase transition between semiconducting and metallic polyamorphs of silicon.
Amorphous and crystalline forms of silicon are well-known, tetrahedrally coordinated semiconductors. High-pressure studies have revealed extensive polymorphism among various metallic crystal structures containing atoms in six-, eight- and 12-fold coordination. Melting silicon at ambient or high pres...
