Superglide at an internal incommensurate boundary.
The intriguing possibility of frictionless gliding of one solid surface on another has been predicted for certain incommensurate interfaces in crystals, based on Aubry's solution to the Frenkel-Kontorova model of a harmonic chain in a periodic potential field. Here we test this prediction for grain boundaries by comparing atomistic simulations with direct experimental observations on the struct...
متن کاملColloidal crystal grain boundary formation and motion
The ability to assemble nano- and micro- sized colloidal components into highly ordered configurations is often cited as the basis for developing advanced materials. However, the dynamics of stochastic grain boundary formation and motion have not been quantified, which limits the ability to control and anneal polycrystallinity in colloidal based materials. Here we use optical microscopy, Browni...
متن کاملCoupling grain boundary motion to shear deformation
Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations confirm that normal grain boundary (GB) motion must often be coupled to tangential translation of grains and will then produce shear deformation of the lattice traversed by the GB. Conversely, shear stresses applied to a GB can induce its normal motion. Using [001] symmetrical tilt GBs in copper as a model, the coupling factor b between the GB motion and grai...
متن کاملGrain-boundary motion in layered phases.
We study the motion of a grain boundary that separates two sets of mutually perpendicular rolls in Rayleigh-Bénard convection above onset. The problem is treated either analytically from the corresponding amplitude equations, or numerically by solving the Swift-Hohenberg equation. We find that if the rolls are curved by a slow transversal modulation, a net translation of the boundary follows. W...
متن کاملAtomistic simulation of slow grain boundary motion.
Existing atomistic simulation techniques to study grain boundary motion are usually limited to either high velocities or temperatures and are difficult to compare to realistic experimental conditions. Here we introduce an adapted simulation method that can access boundary velocities in the experimental range and extract mobilities in the zero driving force limit at temperatures as low as ∼0.2T(...
