Abstract
Our Letter reported high-resolution transmission electron microscopy on commercial quality boron showing that ∼2=3 of the grains exhibit smooth microstructure, leading to an x-ray diffraction pattern of well-known beta boron [1]. The other 1=3 grains exhibit a uniform zigzag pattern that extends across the entire grain and exhibits a very regular twinlike symmetry on every other lattice plane. This second phase gives diffraction patterns that are different from beta.
