Breaking Atomic Bonds through Vibrational Mode Localization

Article Preview

Abstract:

We apply the lattice instability analysis to homogeneously strained single crystal with a flat or defected surface to demonstrate that, in the process of emission of dislocation by an unstable surface, prior to the breaking of atomic bonds, a vibrational mode localizes, foretelling the location and the manner of the impending microscopic catastrophic event.
