Pressure-driven phase transitions and reduction of dimensionality in 2D silicon nanosheets

Pressure-driven phase transitions and reduction of dimensionality in 2D silicon nanosheets, Published online: 21 December 2018; doi:10.1038/s41467-018-07832-4

Silicon nanostructures have important applications as functional materials. Here the authors investigate the structural transformations of 2D silicon nanosheets under compression and decompression, showing the irreversible formation of 1D silicon nanowires.
