Twisted and rope-like assemblies of filamentous molecules are common and vital structural elements in cells and tissue of living organisms. We study the intrinsic frustration occurring in these materials between the two-dimensional…
The scattering of carriers by charged dislocations in semiconductors is studied within the framework of the linearized Boltzmann transport theory with an emphasis on examining consequences of the extreme anisotropy of the scattering…
We study analytically and numerically the stability of the pressure-less, viscously spreading accretion ring. We show that the ring is unstable to small non-axisymmetric perturbations. To perform the perturbation analysis of the ring we use…
We consider the minimum spanning tree problem in a setting where the edge weights are stochastic from unknown distributions, and the only available information is a single sample of each edge's weight distribution. In this setting, we…
We report an unexpected characteristic of dislocation cores in silicon. Using first-principles calculations, we show that all the stable core configurations for a non-dissociated 60$^\circ$ dislocation are sessile. The only glissile…
This paper focuses on an elastic dislocation problem that is motivated by applications in the geophysical and seismological communities. In our model, the displacement satisfies the Lam\'e system in a bounded domain with a mixed homogeneous…
Due to recent successes of a statistical-based nonlocal continuum crystal plasticity theory for single-glide in explaining various aspects such as dislocation patterning and size-dependent plasticity, several attempts have been made to…
To develop a dislocation-based statistical continuum theory of crystal plasticity is a major challenge of materials science.During the last two decades such a theory has been developed for the time evolution of a system of parallel edge…
We study the spreading of initially localized excitations in 1D disordered granular crystals. We thereby investigate localization phenomena in strongly nonlinear systems, which we demonstrate to be fundamentally different from localization…
A dislocation moving through a quasicrystal is leaving in its wake a fault denoted phason wall. For a two-dimensional model quasicrystal the disregistry energy of this phason wall is studied to determine possible Burgers vectors of the…
The elastic energy functional of a system of discrete dislocation lines is well known from dislocation theory. In this paper we demonstrate how the discrete functional can be used to systematically derive approximations which express the…
Elastic scattering of a twisted (Bessel) electron beam by CO$_2$ molecules is studied theoretically at high energies. The molecule's structure is optimized using coupled cluster theory and density functional theory with…
Current theories of dynamical friction on galactic bars are based either on linear perturbation theory, which is valid only in the fast limit where the bar changes its pattern speed rapidly, or on adiabatic theory, which is applicable only…
The impact of the dispersion of the transport coefficients on the structure of the energy distribution function for charge carriers far from equilibrium has been investigated in effective-medium approximation for model densities of states.…
The behaviour of elastic structures undergoing large deformations is the result of the competition between confining conditions, self-avoidance and elasticity. This combination of multiple phenomena creates a geometrical frustration that…
In a porous rock, the spatial distribution of the pore space induces a strong heterogeneity in fluid flow rates and in the stress distribution in the rock mass. If the rock microstructure evolves through time, for example by dissolution,…
A novel explanation of the quasielastic release phenomenon in shock compressed aluminum is presented. A dislocation-based model, taking into account dislocation substructures and evolution, is applied to simulate the elastic plastic…
A novel semidiscrete Peierls-Nabarro model is introduced which can be used to study dislocation spreading at more than one slip planes, such as dislocation cross-slip and junctions. The strength of the model, when combined with ab initio…
In this paper, we formulate the distributional uncharged and charged stress-energy tensors. These are integrals, along a worldline, of derivatives of the delta-function. These distributions are also multipoles and they are prescribed to any…
The self-interaction force of dislocation curves in metals depends on the local arrangement of the atoms and on the nonlocal interaction between dislocation curve segments. While these nonlocal segment-segment interactions can be accurately…
