Free Energies of Isolated 5- and 7-fold Disclinations in Hexatic Membranes
Michael W. Deem, David R. Nelson
We examine the shapes and energies of 5- and 7-fold disclinations in low-temperature hexatic membranes. These defects buckle at different values of the ratio of the bending rigidit…

Dislocation Mediated Melting Near Isostructural Critical Points
T. Chou, D. R. Nelson
We study the interplay between an isostructural critical point and dislocation mediated two-dimensional melting, using a combination of Landau and continuum elasticity theory. If d…

Buckling Instabilities of a Confined Colloid Crystal Layer
T Chou, David R. Nelson
A model predicting the structure of repulsive, spherically symmetric, monodisperse particles confined between two walls is presented. We study the buckling transition of a single f…
