Dysprosium germanide (DyGe3) is a silver-white rare Earth element that forms refractory oxides that are almost insoluble in water. In a recent study, scientists applied the pressure of eight GPa to obtain polycrystal samples of dysprosium germanide in a metastable state state of local thermodynamic equilibrium capable of changing to a more stable state under certain conditions.
