Organic acids under pressure: elastic properties, negative mechanical phenomena and pressure induced phase transitions in the lactic, maleic, succinic and citric acids
Francisco Colmenero
Abstract
The behavior under pressure of the lactic, maleic, succinic and citric acids is studied using first principles methods. The four acids exhibit NLC effects due to the onset of pressure induced phase transitions or sudden structural rearrangements.
