Breaking properties of multicomponent neutron star crust
arXiv:2307.14194 · doi:10.1093/mnras/stad1759
Abstract
We study breaking properties of a solid neutron star crust. We consider the case in which the crust at any fixed density consists of two types ions, forming a strongly ordered Coulomb crystal. It is shown that the breaking stress of a such matter noticeably depends on ionic composition, and it is typically larger than for a one-component crystal. The difference may reach a factor of several.
