Apparent Scarcity of Low-Density Polymorphs of Inorganic Solids

For most inorganic solids, very few dense polymorphs and no low-density polymorphs are observed. Taking a wide range of tetrahedrally-coordinated binary solids (e.g., ZnO, GaN) as a prototypical system, we show that the apparent scarcity of low- density polymorphs is not due to significant structura...
