On the possibility of invoking wave-particle dualism by addressing localized deformation
arXiv:cond-mat/0305372
Abstract
The deBroglie relation is applied to the analysis of auto-wave processes of localized plastic flow in various materials and the results obtained are considered. It is found that the localization of plastic deformation can be conveniently addressed by invoking a hypothetical quasi-particle conjugated with the wave process of flow localization. The mass of the quasiparticle and the area of its localization have been defined.
