Kr is stable as fee to near 100 GPa according to the previous studies. No stacking disorder or coexisting hep domains have previously been reported for Kr at high pressures.

It would be interesting, for example, if theoretical calculations could connect the electronic transition to competing interlayer interactions shown in Ising models to lead to such stacking fault structures [see, e.g., G. D. Price and J. Yeomans, Acta. Crystallogr. Sect. B 40, 448 (1984), and references therein.]
