15. The absorbed laser energy was measured by subtracting the reflected laser energy from the incident energy. The absorbed fluence was then computed with knowledge of the laser intensity profile. This measurement takes into account the optical properties of bismuth for the particular incidence angle and laser polarization used. Only the incident fluence was stated in many of the cited references, and therefore the optical properties of bismuth must be taken into account before directly comparing the results.

18. An experimental ambiguity regarding the room temperature equilibrium position exists: A measurement of 0.4668 was cited in (14) and 0.46814 was cited in (15). The chosen value of 0.46719, the equilibrium value determined by DFT, was used to best compare experimental results to DFT calculations.
19. This phase transition is distinct from the Bi I-II transition that occurs at 25.3 kbar of hydrostatic pressure (26).
