Diamond and graphite are two allotropes of carbon: pure forms of the same element that differ in crystalline structure.. Allotropy or allotropism (from Ancient Greek ἄλλος (allos) 'other' and τρόπος (tropos) 'manner, form') is the property of some chemical elements to exist in two or more different forms, in the same physical state, known as allotropes of the elements.
In crystallography, the transition temperature is the temperature at which a material changes from one crystal state to another. [1] More formally, it is the temperature at which two crystalline forms of a substance can co-exist in equilibrium.
[8] [9] It has a hardness of approximately 80 Brinell. [10] [11] The maximum solubility of carbon is about 0.02 wt% at 727 °C (1,341 °F) and 0.001% at 0 °C (32 °F). [12] When it dissolves in iron, carbon atoms occupy interstitial "holes". Being about twice the diameter of the tetrahedral hole, the carbon introduces a strong local strain field.

Si 24 is an orthorhombic crystalline Si allotrope.It was first synthesized in 2014. [5] [6] Creating the allotrope involved forming Na4 Si 24, a polycrystalline compound with help from a tantalum capsule, high temperature, and a 1,500 ton multi-anvil press that gradually reached a pressure of 10 gigapascals (1,500,000 psi).
One such class of derivatives is inclusion compounds, in which an ion is enclosed by the all-carbon shell of the fullerene. This inclusion is denoted by the "@"symbol in endohedral fullerenes . For example, an ion consisting of a lithium ion trapped within buckminsterfullerene would be denoted Li + @C 60 .
Phase information is based on the work of G. C. Vezzoli, et al., as reviewed by David Young; as Young notes, "The literature on the allotropy of sulfur presents the most complex and confused situation of all the elements." [8] [9] Phase information are limited to ≤50 kbar and thus omitting metallic phases. [10]
