From a thermodynamic point of view, every molecule should exist :
at the external pressure p considered ;
at the temperature T considered ;
in the crystalline form with the lowest Gibbs free enthalpy G, generally corresponding to the most compact stack (but there are a few exceptions).
The formula for calculating G is as follows:
with : :
- H :
