Selected-control hydrothermal growths of α- and β-PbO crystals and orientated pressure-induced phase transition

Bulk crystals of α- and β-PbO have been grown selectively by using transition metal ions as additives. The role of orientated pressure in the unexpected β to α phase transition related to the layered structure has been proposed for the first time.
