Abstract

En 中文
A screw dislocation in a face-centred cubic Cosserat lattice, treated as a classical elastic system, produces a dimensionless tunnelling amplitude TPN−1=137.035999177. The elastic moduli follow from Born–Huang homogenisation of the discrete lattice. The single remaining parameter, the Cosserat coupling number N2, is fixed at 1/π by the rolling-contact condition for tangent spheres and confirmed variationally.
