Macroscopic perspective on phase transition behavior of natural single-crystal graphite under different pressure environments by Xiaoshuang Yin, Songyang Li, Lijuan Wang, Peiyuan Liu, Zhihai Cheng, Huiyang Gou, Liuxiang Yang

“…Here, we report on the pressure-induced phase transition behavior of natural single-crystal graphite under three distinct pressure-transmitting media from a macroscopic perspective using in situ two-dimensional Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy. The surface evolution process of graphite before and after the phase transition is captured, revealing that pressure-induced surface textures can impede the continuity of the phase transition process across the entire single crystal. …”
