Experimental terahertz time-domain spectroscopy and theoretical solid-state ab initio density functional theory and molecular dynamics simulations are used to elucidate the structures, dynamics, and phase transformation processes of molecular crystals undergoing a solid-state order–disorder transition.

High-pressure chemistry of organic compounds is a hot topic of modern chemistry. In this work, basic computational concepts for high-pressure phase transition studies in molecular crystals are described, showing their advantages and disadvantages. The interconnection of experimental and computational methods is highlighted, showing the importance of energy calculations in this field. Based on our deep understanding of methods’ limitations, we suggested the most convenient scheme for the computational study of high-pressure crystal structure changes. Finally, challenges and possible ways for progress in high-pressure phase transitions research of organic compounds are briefly discussed.

The unifying notion of material force which gathers under one vision all types of driving “forces” on defects and smooth or abrupt inhomogeneities in fracture, defect mechanics, elastodynamics (localized solutions) and allied theories such as in electroelasticity, magnetoelasticity, and the propagation of phase transition fronts, is reviewed together with its many faceted applications. The presentation clearly distinguishes between the role played by local physical balance laws in the solution of boundary-value problems and that played by global material balance laws in obtaining the expression of relevant material forces and devising criteria of progress for defects, in a general way. The advances made along this line, which may be referred to as Eshelbian mechanics, are assessed and perpectives are drawn.

AbstractProtein phase transition can generate non-membrane bound cellular compartments, which can convert from liquid-like to solid-like states. While the molecular driving forces of phase separation have been largely understood, much less is known about the mechanisms of material-state conversion. We apply a recently developed algorithm to describe the weak interaction network of multivalent motifs, and simulate the effect of pathological mutations. We demonstrate that linker dynamics is critical to the material-state of biomolecular condensates. We show that linker flexibility/mobility is a major regulator of the weak, heterogeneous meshwork of multivalent motifs, which promotes phase transition and maintains a liquid-like state. Decreasing linker dynamics increases the propensity of amyloid-like fragments via hampering the motif-exchange and reorganization of the weak interaction network. In contrast, increasing linker mobility may compensate rigidifying mutations, suggesting that the meshwork of weak, variable interactions may provide a rescue mechanism from aggregation. Motif affinity, on the other hand, has a moderate impact on fibrillization. Here we demonstrate that the fuzzy framework provides an efficient approach to handle the intricate organization of membraneless organelles, and could also be applicable to screen for pathological effects of mutations.

A novel approach to quantifying intragranular distributions is developed and applied to the α → ∊ phase transition in iron. The approach captures both the distribution of lattice orientation within a grain and the orientation dependence of the lattice strain. Use of a finite element discretization over a ball in Rodrigues space allows for the efficient use of degrees of freedom in the numerical approach and provides a convenient framework for gradient-based regularization of the inverse problem. Application to the α → ∊ phase transition in iron demonstrates the utility of the method in that intragranular orientation and lattice strain distributions in the α phase are related to the observed ∊ orientations. Measurement of the lattice strain distribution enables quantitative analysis of the driving forces for ∊ variant selection. The measurement and analysis together indicate quantitatively that the Burgers mechanism is operative under the experimental conditions examined here.

Magnetic and thermal behaviors and the phase transition nature are strongly influenced by grain size in one-dimensional S = 1/2 molecular spin systems.
