Two-particle tunneling in synchronous and asynchronous regimes is studied in the framework of dissipative quantum tunneling. We show that the use of the proposed model is justified by a comparison with realistic potential energy surfaces of…

We report two-dimensional discrete dislocation dynamics simulations of combined dislocation glide and climb leading to `power-law' creep in a model aluminum crystal. The approach fully accounts for matter transport due to vacancy diffusion…
