Amorphous structures and incommensurate phases
نویسنده
چکیده
2014 A comparison is made between incommensurate phases related with the well known Frendel-Kontorova problem, and amorphous structures, on the basis of a problem of conflict between different symmetries. This similarity leads to a fruitful comparison of solutions with the introduction of a 3-dimensional devil’s staircase for the characterization of amorphous structures. Finally for amorphous structures which propagate an icosahedral symmetry, self similar properties are shown with evidence for a long-range propagation. J. Physique 46 (1985) 215-223 FÉVRIER 1985,

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 phases , incommensurate phases and the devil ’ s staircase
Modulated structures with periods which are incommensurable (or high-order commensurable) with the basic lattice are quite common in condensed-matter physics. The structure may be another lattice, a periodic lattice distortion, a helical or sinusoidal magnetic structure, or a charge density wave in one, two or three dimensions. This review surveys recent theories on the transition between comme...
متن کاملDevil’s staircase and order without periodicity in classical condensed matter
2014 The existence of incommensurate structures proves that a crystalline ordering is not always the most stable one for non-quantum matter. Some properties of structures which are obtained by minimizing a free energy are investigated in the Frenkel-Kontorova and related models. It is shown that an incommensurate structure can be either quasi-sinusoidal with a phason mode or built out of a sequ...
متن کاملAlternating commensurate - incommensurate structures in the magnetic
The magnetic phase diagram of the quasi one-dimensional spinchain system CsNiF 3 below the Néel temperature is determined. For magnetic fields perpendicular to the spin chains incommensurate phases are predicted. From linear spin-wave theory we obtain the instability line of the paramagnetic phase as a function of the strength and the direction of the field. The system undergoes a transition to...
متن کاملMagnetic and Electerical Resistivity Behavior of Amorphous Ni Co P Films
Magnetic and Electrical Resistivity Study of Electroless Amorphous Ternary System (Ni-Co-P) show a qualitative dependence of crystalline phases formed during transformation on the annealing temperature and composition. Electrical Resistivity values increases with increase in cobalt content and samples with higher resistivity show lower temperature coefficients. The Initial increase in magnetiza...
