Experimental determination of atomistic mechanisms linking crystal structures during a compression driven solid-solid phase transformation is a long standing and challenging scientific objective. Also, when using new capabilities at the Dynamic Compression Sector at the Advanced Photon Source, the structure of shocked Si at 19 GPa was identified as simple hexagonal and the lattice orientations between ambient cubic diamond and simple hexagonal structures were related. Furthermore, this approach is general and provides a powerful new method for examining atomistic mechanisms during stress-induced structural changes.
