Nice. How can you synthesize a more appreciable amount of white phosphorus?

Well done! Though it looks like a lot of the white phosphorus decomposed back to red at the qtip. I would be interested in upscaling this if I had access to red phosphorus but distilling red phosphorus to an under water receiver to condenser white phosphorus.
