Figure 3. Crystallization of the decompression-induced liquid under heating and cooling.

Figure 3

(a) Bi-III′ is obtained by compressing the DIL at 489 K. The Bi-III′ then melts into a liquid state under decompression (decom.). The DIL later crystallizes into Bi-I at 449 K upon heating at 1.5 GPa. After crystallization, the pressure changes from 1.5 to 1.4 GPa. (b) The DIL at 1.9 GPa crystallizes into Bi-II under cooling at 428 K. The pressure changes from 1.9 to 1.8 GPa after crystallization.
