3d. Polymorph Analysis. The reorientation of solid-state molecules to aligned configurations suggests a solid-state transformation, as the no field case in figure definitively shows 𝛼-, 𝛽-, and 𝛾-glycine possess no alignment in the x direction on average. Figure shows representative snapshots of the final state of the crystal structure from the 0.6 V/nm simulations for each initial nanocrystal. It is immediately apparent that there is no longer any indication of the initially present 𝛼-, 𝛽-, or 𝛾-glycine, and each nanocrystal has undergone a solid-state transformation to a previously unknown polymorph of glycine. In the newly discovered form, the glycine molecules pack in layers with hydrogen bonding between the positively charged amino group and negatively charged carboxyl group in separate layers. The new polymorphic form arranges glycine molecules such that C-N and C-O bonds are parallel respectively both within and between layers. This allows the dipole moment of the solid glycine molecules to point directly down the electric field vector, making it the most stable polymorphic form in the presence of the strong static field. This demonstrates how the field vector directed the assembly of an otherwise unseen polymorphic form, which only becomes accessible through electric field stabilization. Furthermore, the molecular motif of the unit cell could have simply been guessed through dipole alignment maximization, in agreement with the optical Kerr mechanism, which posits that the form produced will be the one which optimally aligns with the applied field . From figure , a characteristic induction time for the completion of the solid-state transformation can be inferred from the elapsed time between the application of the field, and the time at which the dynamics display growth.
