Shear melting of a hexagonal columnar crystal by proliferation of dislocations | Laurence Ramos

9 Jan 2004 | Journal: | Phys Rev Lett, 92 (1), 018301 | Abstract: | A hexagonal columnar crystal undergoes a shear-melting transition above a critical shear rate or stress. We combine the analysis of the shear-thinning regime below the melting with that of synchrotron x-ray scattering data under shear and propose the melting to be due to a proliferation of dislocations, whose density is determined by both techniques to vary as a power law of the shear rate with a 2/3 exponent, as expected for a creep model of crystalline solids. Moreover, our data suggest the existence under shear of a line hexatic phase, between the columnar crystal and the liquid phase. | Source: | PubMed, pmid14754024 | Services: | Forum | Review | Favorites |
