Size matters : Both high‐pressure and nanoscale syntheses can lead to the same indium oxide polymorph. Recent work by Farvid et al. provide an explanation: metastable high‐pressure rh‐In 2 O 3 is stabilized by surface forces in nanoscale particles, whereas in larger particles only the stable cubic c‐In 2 O 3 polymorph exists; this is evident in the energy diagrams.
