Stacking faults and partial dislocations in graphene
We investigate two mechanisms of crystallographic slip in graphene, corresponding to glide and shuffle generalized stacking faults (GSF), and compute their -curves using Sandia National Laboratories Large-scale Atomic/Molecular Massively Parallel Simulator (LAMMPS). We find evidence of metastable partial dislocations for the glide GSF only. The computed values of the stable and unstable stackin...
متن کاملSlanted stacking faults and persistent face centered cubic crystal growth in sedimentary colloidal hard sphere crystals†
Hard sphere crystal growth is a delicate interplay between kinetics and thermodynamics, where the former is commonly thought to favour a random hexagonal close packed structure and the latter leads to a face centered cubic crystal. In this article, we discuss the influence of slanted stacking faults on the growth of sedimentary colloidal crystals from dispersions with high initial volume fracti...
متن کاملElectrorotation of colloidal particles in liquid crystals.
We present the first observations of dc electric-field-induced rotational motion of finite particles in liquid crystals. We show that the electrorotation is essentially identical to the well-known Quincke rotation, which in liquid crystals triggers an additional translational motion at higher fields. In the smectic phase the translational motion is confined to the two-dimensional geometry of sm...
متن کاملColloidal Particles: Crystals, Glasses, and Gels
Colloidal particles aremicroscopic solid particles suspended in a fluid. Colloids are small enough that thermal energy drives their dynamics and ensures equilibrationwith the suspending fluid; they are also large enough that their positions andmotions can bemeasured precisely using optical methods, such as light scattering and laser-scanning confocal fluorescence microscopy. Colloidal suspensio...
متن کاملPhotonic crystals of core-shell colloidal particles
We report on the fabrication and optical transmission studies of thin three-dimensional photonic crystals of high-dielectric ZnS-core and low-dielectric SiO2-shell colloidal particles. These samples were fabricated using a vertical controlled drying method. The spectral position and width of a stopgap depend on the core-to-shell ratio, in a manner consistent with numerical calculations. Both ex...
