Disclination density in atomic structures described in curved spaces
نویسندگان
چکیده
2014 The curvature of a space and the density of disclinations are two related quantities. There is an exact relation in 2-D spaces. We show how an approximate solution can be used in 3-D space. Applications to the 03B2-W structure and the Laves phase are presented The coordination number in dense random structures is explained in terms of disclination density. J.

A New Approach of Amorphous Semiconductors Structure Using Curved Spaces
We present a description of amorphous structures using regular arrangement in curved spaces to describe the local order. Defects and disorder ariserrom the mapping of the curved spaces onto the euclidian space. Density variations are qualitatively explained by this description.
متن کاملElastic models of symmetrical Š001‹ and Š011‹ tilt grain boundaries in diamond
The disclination-structural units model ~DSUM!, which was previously applied to grain boundaries in metals and a limited number of structures in the diamond cubic lattice, is extended to treat more complicated metastable structures of ^001& and ^011& symmetric tilt boundaries in diamond. These structures are described in terms of flat and faceted disclination dipole walls and screw dislocation ...
متن کاملOrientational order on curved surfaces - the high temperature region
We study orientational order, subject to thermal fluctuations, on a fixed curved surface. We derive, in particular, the average density of zeroes of Gaussian distributed vector fields on a closed Riemannian manifold. Results are compared with the density of disclination charges obtained from a Coulomb gas model. Our model describes the disordered state of two dimensional objects with orientatio...
متن کاملDeformation and failure of curved colloidal crystal shells.
Designing and controlling particle self-assembly into robust and reliable high-performance smart materials often involves crystalline ordering in curved spaces. Examples include carbon allotropes like graphene, synthetic materials such as colloidosomes, or biological systems like lipid membranes, solid domains on vesicles, or viral capsids. Despite the relevance of these structures, the irrever...
