Single <chemical element>, single phase (usually solid), but different 3D structures.

The prototypical examples are the <allotropes of carbon> such as <diamond> vs <graphite>.


Allotrope

{tag=Phase transition}

There are various possibilities for the axes, but some common ones:
* temperature (T) vs magnetic field strength (B)
* temperature (T) vs proportion of each <chemical element> of a <binary alloy>
* temperature (T) vs pressure
