Figure 2

Formation of \(\gamma\)-\(N_2\) versus \(\delta _{loc}(\epsilon )\)-\(N_2\) as a function of the starting states and compression rate. (a) Transformation of \(\delta _{loc}\)-\(N_2\) to \(\epsilon\)-\(N_2\) at 8.8 GPa/s and 68 K. (b) Transformation of \(\beta\)-\(N_2\) to \(\delta _{loc}\)-\(N_2\) at 1 MPa/s, and then to \(\epsilon\)-\(N_2\) and \(\zeta\)-\(N_2\) at 77 K. (c) Transformation of \(\beta\)-\(N_2\) to \(\gamma\)-\(N_2\) at 1 GPa/s at 68 K.
