A theory is developed for intermediate monoclinic (FE(m)) phases near morphotropic phase boundaries in ferroelectrics of complex oxides. It based on the conformal miniaturization stress-accommodating tetragonal domains under condition low domain-wall energy density. The microdomain-averaged lattice parameters are determined and attributed to an adaptive phase. applied temperature, electric field, compositional dependent FE(m) parameters. predictions rigidly obeyed over entire stability range.
Ferroelectric and ferroelastic phases with very low domain wall energies have been shown to form miniaturized microdomain structures. A theory of an adaptive ferroelectric phase has developed predict the microdomain-averaged crystal lattice parameters this structurally inhomogeneous state. The is extension conventional martensite theory, applied systems energies. case microdomains tetragonal symmetry considered. It for such a that nanoscale coherent mixture can be interpreted as phase, whose...
The phase field microelasticity theory of a three-dimensional elastically anisotropic solid arbitrarily inhomogeneous modulus also containing arbitrary structural inhomogeneities is proposed. based on the equation for strain energy and structurally system presented as functional field, which effective stress-free “equivalent” homogeneous system. It proved that minimizing this fully determines exact elastic equilibrium in solid. minimizer obtained steady state solution time-dependent...
The phase field theory and model of a multidislocation dynamics in an elastically anisotropic crystal under applied stress is developed. proposed three-dimensional (3D) particular case our microelasticity the stress-induced martensitic transformations. A spontaneous self-organization dislocations evolving ensemble, which involves multiplication/annihilation movement controlled by their elastic interaction, described Ginzburg–Landau kinetic equation. Examples 3D computer simulation...
The phase field microelasticity theory of a three-dimensional elastically anisotropic single crystal with multiple voids and cracks is developed. It extended to the case isotropic polycrystal. based on exact equation for strain energy “equivalent” continuous homogeneous body presented as functional field. This equivalent stress-free strain. proved that minimizing fully determines elastic displacement voids/cracks. geometry evolution are described by field, which solution stochastic...
It is proved that the stress-free strain distribution minimizing energy of homogeneous modulus body fully determines elasticity discontinuous body. This result used as a basis for proposed three-dimensional phase field microelasticity theory and model with cracks voids in elastically anisotropic crystal under applied stress. The elastic equilibrium spontaneous evolution these defects are described by Ginzburg–Landau kinetic equation. Examples computations evolutions systems and/or considered.
The atomic density function kinetic theory of a spontaneous rearrangement at the scale is developed. In this theory, evolution system described not by individual movement each atom in same but functions, which are averages over time-dependent ensemble. temporal densities driven free energy relaxation. thermodynamic aspects instability homogeneous liquid state and formation crystalline amorphous discussed. Examples self-assembling atoms three-dimensional nanocrystal, two-dimensional...
A series of mutations in the homeo domain yeast alpha 2 protein were constructed to test, both vivo and vitro, predictions based on 2-DNA cocrystal structure described by Wolberger et al. (1991). The effects observed three different contexts using authentic target DNA sequences: binding alone specific DNA, cooperatively with MCM1 a1 DNA. As expected, changes amino acid residues that contact X-ray severely compromised ability bind MCM1. In contrast, many these same mutations, including a...
