Author:Nabarro, FRNDate:30 Aug 1997The origin of the Peierls model and its relation to that of Frenkel and Kontorova are described. Within this model there are three essentially different formulae for the stress required to move a dislocation rigidly through a perfect lattice, ...Read more
Author:Sayle, TXT; Catlow, CRA; Maphanga, RR; Ngoepe, PE; Sayle, DCDate:21 Sep 2005Models of MnO2 nanoparticles, with full atomistic detail, have been generated using a simulated amorphization and recrystallization strategy. In particular, a 25,000-atom "cube" of MnO2 was amorphized (tension-induced) under molecular dynamics ...Read more
Author:Cornell, DH; Schutte, SS; Eglington, BLDate:Jul 1996The Ongeluk lavas form part of the Palaeoproterozoic Transvaal-Griqualand West supracrustal sequence of the Archaean Kaapvaal Craton of South Africa. They form a thick shallow-marine volcanic sequence of pillow lava, massive flows and ...Read more
Author:Nabarro, FRNDate:15 Jul 2001Under certain conditions, the plastic extension of a sample subjected to a constant stress is to a good approximation proportional to the logarithm of the time. Similarly, if a sample is plastically strained and unloaded, there are changes ...Read more
