Direct Visualization of Dislocation Dynamics in Grain Boundary Scars
Peter Lipowsky, Mark J. Bowick, Jan H. Meinke +2
Mesoscale objects with unusual structural features may serve as the analogues of atoms in the design of larger-scale materials with novel optical, electronic or mechanical behaviou…
Grain Boundary Scars on Spherical Crystals
Thomas Einert, Peter Lipowsky, Jorg Schilling +2
We present an experimental system suitable for producing spherical crystals and for observing the distribution of lattice defects (disclinations and dislocations) on a significant…
Anisotropic Membranes
M. Bowick, S. Catterall, S. Warner +2
We describe the statistical behavior of anisotropic crystalline membranes. In particular we give the phase diagram and critical exponents for phantom membranes and discuss the gene…
The Phase Structure of Strings with Extrinsic Curvature
Mark Bowick, Paul Coddington, Leping Han +2
We examine a model of non-self-avoiding, fluctuating surfaces as a candidate continuum string theory of surfaces in three dimensions. This model describes Dynamically Triangulated…
Finite Temperature Strings
Mark J. Bowick
These are lecture notes for the 1992 Erice Workshop on String Quantum Gravity and Physics at the Planck Energy Scale. In this talk a review of earlier work on finite temperature st…
Unitary One Matrix Models: String Equations and Flows
K. N. Anagnostopoulos, M. J. Bowick
We review the Symmetric Unitary One Matrix Models. In particular we discuss the string equation in the operator formalism, the mKdV flows and the Virasoro Constraints. We focus on…
