Pressure-induced transition

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-009411",
  "term": "Pressure-induced transition",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A phase transformation in a solid material that occurs solely due to changes in applied external pressure, without alterations in temperature or chemical composition. This transition involves a rearrangement of atoms or molecules into a new crystal structure or amorphous state. Such transitions are often studied using high-pressure experimental techniques like diamond anvil cells.",
