Gas-assisted transformation of gold from fcc to the metastable 4H phase
Crystal phase engineering enables the growth of nanostructures with controlled crystal phases that show superior functional properties. Here, the authors find that CO gas-metal atom interactions combined with the electron beam can trigger phase transformations of precious metals at room temperature.
