Crystal structure of the Stillinger-Weber system in a narrow slit pore is studied. It is discovered that depending on the density the system forms several different crystal phases. Importantly, the system splits into several layers, and the symmetry of different layers can be different, which is not observed in systems with pair interaction only.
