Unstable Periodic Structures in Nematic Liquid Crystals

The Volumes of Formation of Schottky Defects in Ionic Crystals *

In this paper we calculate the volumes and energies of formation of Schottky defects in the alkali halides NaCl, NaBr, KC1 and KBr. Both the polarisable point-dipole and a simple shell model are evaluated. The calculation uses a generalised and extended Mott-Littleton approach in conjunction with results derived previously by the lattice statics method of Kanzaki. The polarisable point-dipole m...

Transport Atomique Et Thermodynamique Des Défautslattice Defects in Ionic Crystals

-This review article aims to set the scene for the entire conference. It describes a number of areas where important progress has recently been made, as well as commenting on more established understanding. The review covers (i) defect states, structures and energies, (ii) point defects in or near thermodynamic equilibrium and (iii) the production of defects by irradiation and radiation damage ...

Vlasov-maxwell-boltzmann Diffusive Limit

We study the diffusive expansion for solutions around Maxwellian equilibrium and in a periodic box to the Vlasov-Maxwell-Boltzmann system, the most fundamental model for an ensemble of charged particles. Such an expansion yields a set of dissipative new macroscopic PDE’s, the incompressible Vlasov-Navier-Stokes-Fourier system and its higher order corrections for describing a charged fluid, wher...
