Pressure Dependent Physical Properties of the Representative Plastic Crystal NPG

Caption

(a). Pressure-induced entropy changes as a function of temperature under varying pressures. (b). X-ray diffraction patterns, showing a pressure-induced phase transition. (c,d). Neutron scattering spectra, displaying that the pressure suppresses the quasi-elastic signal originating from the molecular orientational disorder. (e,f) Structural snapshots of molecular dynamics simulations, where pressure aligns the molecules.
