The method successfully reproduced the distinctive crystal structures of both carbon (graphite and diamond) and silicon dioxide (low-quartz, low-cristobalite, and coesite). It worked. However ...

Silicon that has an ordered atomic structure. It is used in almost all ... (polysilicon), a very pure silicon with multiple single-crystal regions of different sizes and orientations.

“We can easily modify pigment surfaces with uniform coatings of silicon dioxide, for example ... can be adjusted by selecting specific crystal structures using the dual-process production ...
