High-Dimensional Phase Diagrams

E-BN (E = explosion) is described as high pressure phase by a few scientists. For synthesis shock wave methods [25, 26] were used and also reactions at normal pressure with photon [27] or electron [28, 29] assistance. In a special three-dimensional phase-diagram (pressure, temperature, electrical field) the existence of the metastable E-BN was described [30]. 

Because of its high dimensionality, it is difficult - or even impossible - to view the phase diagram of a multicomponent system in its entirety. For example, an isobaric phase diagram for four components would involve a four-dimensional space. To...
