Twinning of Polymer Crystals Suppressed by Entropy
We propose an entropic argument as partial explanation of the observed scarcity of twinned structures in crystalline samples of synthetic organic polymeric materials. Polymeric molecules possess a much larger number of conformational degrees of freedom than low molecular weight substances. The preferred conformations of polymer chains in the bulk of a single crystal are often incompatible with ...
متن کاملPhase Field Modeling of Twinning in Indentation of Transparent Crystals
Continuum phase field theory is applied to study elastic twinning in calcite and sapphire single crystals subjected to indentation loading by wedge-shaped indenters. An order parameter is associated with the magnitude of stress-free twinning shear. Geometrically linear and nonlinear theories are implemented and compared, the latter incorporating neo-Hookean elasticity. Equilibrium configuration...
متن کاملPhase-Field Analysis of Fracture-Induced Twinning in Single Crystals
Deformation twinning at the tip of a straight crack or notch is analyzed using a phase-field method that seeks equilibrium twin morphologies via direct minimization of a free energy functional. For isotropic solids, the tendency to twin under mode I or mode II loading is found to depend weakly on Poisson’s ratio and elastic nonlinearity and strongly on surface energy and twinning shear (i.e. ei...
متن کاملCrystallization of Membrane Proteins: Merohedral Twinning of Crystals
Membrane proteins are the main functional units of biological membranes. They represent roughly one-third of the proteins encoded in the genome and about 70% of drugs are targeted to membrane proteins. X-ray protein crystallography is one of the most powerful tools to determine protein structure and to provide a basis for understanding molecular mechanisms of protein function. Despite an obviou...
متن کاملComparing Imperfection Ratio and Imperfection Index for Graph Classes
Perfect graphs constitute a well-studied graph class with a rich structure, reflected by many characterizations with respect to different concepts. Perfect graphs are, for instance, precisely those graphs G where the stable set polytope STAB(G) coincides with the fractional stable set polytope QSTAB(G). For all imperfect graphs G it holds that STAB(G) ⊂ QSTAB(G). It is, therefore, natural to us...
