The scaling properties of one-dimensional deconstructed surfaces are studied by numerical simulations of a disaggregation model. The model presented here for the disaggregation process takes into account the possibility of having quenched…
A model based on dislocation glide controlled by the nucleation and propagation of kink pairs in a high Peierls stress crystal is revisited and modified to account for changes in dislocation densities and segment lengths with temperature…
Modeling dislocations is an inherently multiscale problem as one needs to simultaneously describe the high stress fields near the dislocation cores, which depend on atomistic length scales, and a surface boundary value problem which depends…
Differentiable vector graphics have enabled powerful gradient-based optimization of vector primitives directly from raster images. However, existing frameworks formulate this as a flat optimization problem, forcing hundreds to thousands of…
The field of two-dimensional (2D) materials has expanded to multilayered systems where electronic, optical, and mechanical properties change-often dramatically-with stacking order, thickness, twist, and interlayer spacing [1-5]. For…
This work introduces a model for large-strain, geometrically nonlinear elasto-plastic dynamics in single crystals. The key feature of our model is that the plastic dynamics are entirely driven by the movement of dislocations, that is,…
We consider the inverse problem of determining an elastic dislocation that models a seismic fault in the quasi-static regime of aseismic, creeping faults, from displacement measurements made at the surface of Earth. We derive both a…

Two different mechanisms have been reported in previous ab initio studies to describe basal slip in complex intermetallic Laves phases: synchroshear and undulating slip. To date, no clear answer has been given on which is the energetically…
Charge carriers in a graphene sheet, a single layer of graphite, exhibit much distinctive characteristics to those in other two-dimensional electronic systems because of their chiral nature. In this report, we focus on the observation of…

We study the stability and evolution of various elastic defects in a flat graphene sheet and the electronic properties of the most stable configurations. Two types of dislocations are found to be stable: "glide" dislocations consisting of…
In polymers melts and supercooled liquids, the glassy dynamics is characterized by the rattling of monomers or particles in the cage formed by their neighbors. Recently, a direct correlation in such systems, described by a universal scaling…
We examine the structure of the distribution of single particle displacements (van-Hove function) in a broad class of materials close to glass and jamming transitions. In a wide time window comprising structural relaxation, van-Hove…

Dislocations are ubiquitous in three-dimensional solid-state materials. The interplay of such real space topology with the emergent band topology defined in reciprocal space gives rise to gapless helical modes bound to the line defects.…
The large-scale production of graphene monolayer greatly relies on epitaxial samples which often display stress-relaxation features in the form of wrinkles. Wrinkles of graphene on Ir(111) are found to exhibit a fairly well ordered…
The deformation of rocks is associated with microcracks nucleation and propagation, i.e. damage. The accumulation of damage and its spatial localization lead to the creation of a macroscale discontinuity, so-called "fault" in geological…
In this paper we study the connection between four models describing dislocation dynamics: a generalized 2D Frenkel-Kontorova model at the atomic level, the Peierls-Nabarro model, the discrete dislocation dynamics and a macroscopic model…
The field of Materials Science is concerned with, e.g., properties and performance of materials. An important class of materials are crystalline materials that usually contain ``dislocations'' -- a line-like defect type. Dislocation…
