Electron Diffraction and Microscopy of Incommensurate Phases and Quasi-crystals
We first review the application of transmission electron microscopy to incchnmensurate crystals drawing attention to the different techniques available. There follows a discussion of proposed differences between AlFe inccm~lensurate and quasi-crystals introducing some new results on an AlFeCe quasi-crystal. Finally, a brief reprt is given of incmsurate phases recently identified in crystallized...
متن کاملFluxes in incommensurate crystals
-The interaction between varions fluxes and the motion of incommensurate(1) modulation is treated within a phenomenological approach. Three types of fluxes are considered : the polarization current, the conductivity current and the heat flux. It is shown that in the I phase ail currents are associated with the motion of the I modulation and thus phenomena qualitatively similar to those well kno...
متن کاملAmorphous structures and incommensurate phases
2014 A comparison is made between incommensurate phases related with the well known Frendel-Kontorova problem, and amorphous structures, on the basis of a problem of conflict between different symmetries. This similarity leads to a fruitful comparison of solutions with the introduction of a 3-dimensional devil’s staircase for the characterization of amorphous structures. Finally for amorphous s...
متن کاملDynamics of cylindrical domain walls in nematic liquid crystals
Analytical calculations of the dynamics of a curved domain wall in a nematic liquid crystal are performed. The core of the wall is assumed to form a cylinder, whose axis coincides with the direction of an external magnetic field. The equation of motion for the nematic director field is solved in a comoving coordinate frame by applying a polynomial expansion of the tilt angle with respect to the...
متن کاملNQR Study of Dynamics in Incommensurate Phases
Dynamic processes in solids exhibiting structurally incommensurate phases are briefly reviewed, and the application of NMR and NQR is discussed. The unique utility of these methods, arising due to, on one hand, the microscopic resonant nature of the probe used and, on the other, the presence of periodic, though incommensurable, structure , is brought out by presenting recent results in a protot...
