Abstract

Abstract: Invited for the cover of this issue is Claudia Weidenthaler and co‐workers at the Max‐Planck‐Institut für Kohlenforschung, Shenzhen University and Deutsches Elektronen Synchrotron. The image depicts the X‐ray diffraction results showing the formation of ZnS and the subsequent phase transition from the hexagonal to the cubic modification.

Abstract : " The mechanical synthesis of zinc sulfide from its elements results in the formation of the metastable hexagonal modification instead of the thermodynamically more stable cubic phase. Thus, this reaction was a perfect showcase to investigate the influence of the direct local energy transfer on the reaction mechanism via in situ monitoring of the reactants ."
