Stress induced dislocation roughening -- phase transition in 1d at finite temperature

Other Condensed Matter 2015-05-27 v2

Abstract

We present an example of a generically forbidden phase transition in 1d at finite temperature -- stress induced and thermally assisted roughening of a superclimbing dislocation in a Peierls potential. We also argue that such roughening is behind the strong suppression of the superflow through solid \he4 in a narrow temperature range recently observed by Ray and Hallock (Phys.Rev. Lett. {\bf 105}, 145301 (2010)).
