The population of dislocation defects in a crystalline material strongly influences its properties, so the ability to analyse this population in experimental samples is of great utility. As a complement to direct counting in the…
Brittle fracturing of materials is common in natural and industrial processes over a variety of length scales. Knowledge of individual particle dynamics is vital to obtain deeper insight into the atomistic processes governing crack…
The presence and evolution of defects that appear in the manufacturing process play a vital role in the failure mechanisms of engineering materials. In particular, the collective behavior of dislocation dynamics at the mesoscale leads to…
Dislocations are one-dimensional (1D) topological line defects where the lattice deviates from the perfect crystal structure. The presence of dislocations transcends condensed matter research and gives rise to a diverse range of emergent…
Disclinations, first observed in mesomorphic phases, are relevant to a number of ill-ordered condensed matter media, with continuous symmetries or frustrated order. They also appear in polycrystals at the edges of grain boundaries. They are…
During the plastic deformation of crystalline materials, 3d dislocation networks form based on dislocation junctions. Particularly, immobile Lomer junctions are essential for the stability of dislocation networks. However, the formed Lomer…
Identifying the regions responsible for plastic flow in amorphous solids remains an open problem, since structural disorder seems to prevent the direct application of concepts such as dislocations, topological defects that successfully…
Deformation band patterning in single crystals is investigated using a finite strain crystal viscoplasticity model based on the evolution of dislocation densities. In the presence of strong latent hardening and weak rate dependence, the…
Dislocations are the main carriers of the permanent deformation of crystals. For simulations of engineering applications, continuum models where material microstructures are represented by continuous density distributions of dislocations…
General Weitzenbock material manifolds of dislocations in crystals Are proposed, the reference, idealized and deformation states of the bodies in general case are generally described by the general manifolds, the topological gauge field…
Thermodynamic dislocation theory incorporating dislocation impediment by the grain boundaries is developed to analyze the shear test of polycrystals. With a small set of physics based material parameters, we are able to simulate the…
We provide a minimal continuum model for mesoscale plasticity, explaining the cellular dislocation structures observed in deformed crystals. Our dislocation density tensor evolves from random, smooth initial conditions to form self-similar…
In recent years there has been renewed interest in the behavior of dislocations in crystals that exhibit strong atomic scale disorder, as typical of compositionally complex single phase alloys. The behavior of dislocations in such crystals…
We analyze transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images of self-assembled quasicrystals, composed of binary systems of nanoparticles. We use an automated procedure that identifies the positions of dislocations and determines their…
Using a version of density-functional theory which combines Onsager approximation and fundamental-measure theory for spatially nonuniform phases, we have studied the phase diagram of freely rotating hard rectangles and hard discorectangles.…
We demonstrate the applicability of large-angle convergent-beam electron diffraction (LACBED) for Burgers vector determination in monoclinic $\beta$-Ga$_2$O$_3$. The inner product $g \cdot b$ in this non-orthogonal system can be evaluated…
The dynamics of dislocation assemblies in deforming crystals indicate the emergence of collective phenomena, intermittent fluctuations and strain avalanches. In polycrystalline materials, the understanding of plastic deformation mechanisms…
We revisit some recents results inspired by the Peierls-Nabarro model on edge dislocations for crystals which rely on the fractional Laplace representation of the corresponding equation. In particular, we discuss results related to…
Extended topological defects (ETDs) arising in spherical hexagonal crystals due to their curvature are considered. These prevalent defects carry a unit total topological charge and are surrounded by scalene pentagonal boundaries.…
In the continuum limit, the theory of dislocations in crystals predicts a divergence in the elastic energy of the host material at a crystal geometry dependent limiting (or critical) velocity $v_c$. Explicit expressions for $v_c$ are…
