Fluxes in incommensurate crystals
نویسنده
چکیده
-The interaction between varions fluxes and the motion of incommensurate(1) modulation is treated within a phenomenological approach. Three types of fluxes are considered : the polarization current, the conductivity current and the heat flux. It is shown that in the I phase ail currents are associated with the motion of the I modulation and thus phenomena qualitatively similar to those well known for the electric current in the charge-density-wave

The study of incommensurate structures as a probe to reveal atomic interactions in crystals
The structure of aperiodic crystals which includes incommensurate, quasiand composite crystals is usually described in spaces of higher dimension, the so called superspace. The main advantage of the superspace formalism is that an aperiodic structure in three dimensions recovers its full periodicity in higher dimensions. The symmetry properties of aperiodic crystals are obviously more convenien...
متن کاملCommensurate and Incommensurate Helix Configuration in Hexatic Liquid Crystals with Chiral Molecules
In hexatic I* and F* liquid crystals the director and the net of the bonds defined by the bond-orientational order are spiraling about the axis normal to the smectic layers. A continuum elastic distortion theory of liquid crystals predicts the existence of two possible con~ figurations. If the commensurate configuration is stable, the director and the bond orientation are locked together causin...

Neutron scattering is proved to be a vital probe in unveiling the magnetic properties of high temperature superconductors (HTSC). Detailed information about the energy and momentum dependence of the magnetic dynamics of HTSC have been obtained directly by this technique. Over the past decade by improving the crystal growth methods, large and high quality single crystals of HTSC, which are ess...
متن کاملAmplitudons and phasons in the triple-k incommensurate phase of quartz-type crystals
2014 The spectrum of amplitudons and phasons has been calculated for a 3-k triangular incommensurate structure (such as it is found in quartz-type crystals) using a phenomenological model. Two excitations have acoustic-like dispersion curves (gapless phasons) and four excitations are optic-like, one of the latter corresponding to fluctuations of the sum of the phases of the three modulation wav...
