Abstract: It is somewhat ironic that advances in semiconductor technology and computer memory have exposed flaws in our understanding of semiconductor crystal structures, especially under high pressure. New computer simulations, which include the effects of phonons — quanta of crystal lattice vibrations — in the theory, reveal a more diverse family of semiconductor structures.
