Simulation and observation of line-slip structures in columnar structures of soft spheres

Soft Condensed Matter 2019-02-27 v4

Abstract

We present the computed phase diagram of columnar structures of soft spheres under pressure, of which the main feature is the appearance and disappearance of line slips, the shearing of adjacent spirals, as pressure is increased. A comparable experimental observation is made on a column of bubbles under forced drainage, clearly exhibiting the expected line slip.
