Metastability and Ostwald step rule in the crystallisation of diamond and graphite from molten carbon - Nature Communications Molecular simulations reveal how diamond and graphite crystallize from molten carbon. Following Ostwald’s step rule, the liquid’s low density drives metastable graphite formation even within the diamo...

Our recent study used machine-learning MD simulations to uncover carbon’s surprising crystallization behavior, shedding light on puzzling experimental results and the hidden complexity of how carbon forms graphite or diamond.
