The softening of two-dimensional colloidal crystals
According to the Kosterlitz–Thouless–Halperin–Nelson–Young (KTHNY) theory a two-dimensional (2D) crystal melts when bound pairs of dislocations dissociate into single dislocations. The temperature at which dislocation pairs unbind can be identified by means of the Young’s modulus K passing through 16π . In a previous paper (von Grünberg et al 2004 Phys. Rev. Lett. 93 255703) we analysed video-m...
متن کاملElasticity in crystals under pressure.
The elastic behavior and stability of elemental crystals are studied in the neighborhood of a stable equilibrium state, also called a phase, at finite pressure p. It is shown that two kinds of elastic constants are needed to describe elasticity under pressure. One set, designated as c(ij),i,j = 1-6, determines stability or lack of it; another set, designated as c(ij)(p), describes the linear re...
متن کاملSoftening of the radial breathing mode in metallic carbon nanotubes.
The softening of the radial breathing mode (RBM) of metallic single walled carbon nanotubes (m-SWNTs) due to electron-phonon coupling has been studied by observing the Fermi level [see text] dependence of the RBM Raman peak. In situ Raman spectra were obtained from several individual m-SWNTs while varying [see text] electrochemically. The RBM frequency of an intrinsic m-SWNT is shown to be down...
متن کاملExtreme rejuvenation and softening in a bulk metallic glass
Rejuvenation of metallic glasses, bringing them to higher-energy states, is of interest in improving their plasticity. The mechanisms of rejuvenation are poorly understood, and its limits remain unexplored. We use constrained loading in compression to impose substantial plastic flow on a zirconium-based bulk metallic glass. The maximum measured effects are that the hardness of the glass decreas...
متن کاملAnisotropic elasticity of experimental colloidal Wigner crystals.
Colloidal particles interacting via a long-range repulsion can, in contrast to hard-sphere systems, exhibit crystalline ordering at low volume fraction. Here we experimentally investigate the structure and properties of such "colloidal Wigner crystals." We find a body-centered-cubic crystalline phase at volume fractions of ϕ≳15%, which exhibits large fluctuations of individual particles from th...
