Description

Peierls distortion path was proved experimentally for dense ZnO nanoparticles prepared by static compression. Electron irradiation caused rock salt (R) to wurtzite (W) transition, following preferential (11-bar1)R//(01-bar11)W; [011]R//[1-bar21-bar3]W and then transformation strain induced (111-bar)R//(1-bar011)W; [011]R//[011-bar1]W. The two relationships can be rationalized by specified extent of chair- and boat-type Peierls distortions accompanied with band gap opening and intermediate {111}R slip for energetically favorable {111}R/(01-bar11)W match
