What is it about?

This work gives an ultimate explanation of phase transition in molecular crystal of L-serine under pressure. Computational study in relation to experimental results gives an idea of reasons for phase transition at high pressures - from macro to micro level. Thermodynamics and detailed molecular changes

Why is it important?

Understanding reasons for phase transitions at high-pressures is a first step for understanding the mechanism.

Perspectives

Suggested method is a powerfull tool for understanding phase transition reasons in other organic crystalline materials
