Figure 21 Two complete hysteresis cycles for 4.5-nm CdSe NQDs presented asunit cell volumes for the wurtzite sixfold-coordinated phase (triangles) and the rocksaltfourfold-coordinated phase (squares) versus pressure. Solid arrows indicate thedirection of pressure change, and dotted boxes indicate the mixed-phase regions.Unlike bulk-phase transitions, the wurtzite to rock-salt transformation in nanocrystalsis reversible and occurs without the formation of new high-energy defects, asindicated <strong>by</strong> overlapping hysteresis loops. The shape change that a sliding-planetransformation mechanism (see text) would induce is shown schematically on theright. (From Ref. 51; reprinted with permission.)of the rate constants led to the determination of activation volumes for theprocess [53]. The latter represents the volume change between the startingstructure and an intermediate transitional structure. Activation volumes forthe two directions, wurtzite to rock salt and rock salt to wurtzite, respectively,were unequal and smaller for the latter, implying that the intermediatestructure more closely resembles the four-coordinate structure.
