title: Growth of highly oriented deuterium crystals in silicon nanochannels.
abstract: The structure of solid deuterium confined in 9 nm wide tubular silicon nanochannels has been studied by means of elastic neutron scattering techniques. As a result we report the formation of fcc D(2) as the stable solid phase in confinement in contrast to the hcp bulk structure. Further, a preferred alignment of D(2) nanocrystals with respect to the surrounding crystalline silicon matrix is discussed in terms of heteroepitaxial growth of solid D(2) on crystalline pore walls.
