    Abstract

    We have theoretically investigated the mechanism of the reconstructive wurtzite-to-rocksalt phase transition. Using COMSUBS, we found five different bond-preserving transitions pathways. These transition paths share a common underlying mechanism: bilayer sliding of (010) hexagonal planes along the [100] hexagonal directions.
