Geometrical frustration in nanowire growth.
Idealized nanowire geometries assume stable sidewalls at right angles to the growth front. Here we report growth simulations that include a mix of nonorthogonal facet orientations, as for Au-catalyzed Si. We compare these with in situ microscopy observations, finding striking correspondences. In both experiments and simulations, there are distinct growth modes that accommodate the lack of right...
متن کاملGeometrical Frustration
© 2006 American Institute of Physics, S-0031-9228-0602-010-2 T ancient Greeks were aware of the phenomenon of magnetic order in lodestone, a type of rock containing the ferromagnet magnetite Fe3O4. Magnetic moments in a ferromagnet tend to align and thereby sum to an easily observed macroscopic magnetic moment. The absence of such a moment even in ordered antiferromagnets is the reason their di...
متن کاملGeometrical frustration and static correlations in hard-sphere glass formers.
We analytically and numerically characterize the structure of hard-sphere fluids in order to review various geometrical frustration scenarios of the glass transition. We find generalized polytetrahedral order to be correlated with increasing fluid packing fraction, but to become increasingly irrelevant with increasing dimension. We also find the growth in structural correlations to be modest in...
متن کاملGeometrical frustration in amorphous and partially crystallized packings of spheres.
We study the persistence of a geometrically frustrated local order inside partially crystallized packings of equal-sized spheres. Measurements by x-ray tomography reveal previously unseen grain scale rearrangements occurring inside large three-dimensional packings as they crystallize. Three successive structural transitions are detected by a statistical description of the local volume fluctuati...
متن کاملGeometrical frustration and static correlations in a simple glass former.
We study the geometrical frustration scenario of glass formation for simple hard-sphere models. We find that the dual picture in terms of defects brings little insight and no theoretical simplification for the understanding of the slowing down of relaxation, because of the strong frustration characterizing these systems. The possibility of a growing static length is furthermore found to be phys...
