Extended Data Fig. 9: Continuous-transition-mediated deformation twinning in diamond.

From: Activating deformation twinning in cubic boron nitride

Extended Data Fig. 9

a, A top view image of a deformed <100> -oriented diamond anvil tip after diamond anvil cell test under pressure of ~360 GPa. b, The dark field TEM image shows that there generated high density of twins in the deformed diamond anvil tip. c, The corresponding SAED patterns. d, HAADF-STEM image captures the transition layer in front of the twin boundary, indicating that continuous-transition-mediated deformation twinning occurs in this bulk diamond.
