Bond-orientational order in liquids and glasses
- P. Steinhardt, D. Nelson, M. Ronchetti
- Physics
- 15 July 1983
Bond-orientational order in molecular-dynamics simulations of supercooled liquids and in models of metallic glasses is studied. Quadratic and third-order invariants formed from bond spherical…

Dynamic renormalization-group methods are used to study the large-distance, long-time behavior of velocity correlations generated by the Navier-Stokes equations for a randomly stirred, incompressible…

Dislocation-mediated melting in two dimensions
- D. Nelson, B. Halperin
- Physics
- 1 March 1979
A theory of dislocation-mediated melting in two dimensions is described in detail, with an emphasis on results for triangular lattices on both smooth and periodic substrates. The transition from…

We show that the icosahedral packings of protein capsomeres proposed by Caspar and Klug for spherical viruses become unstable to faceting for sufficiently large virus size, in analogy with the…

Fluctuations in membranes with crystalline and hexatic order
We study the interplay between crystalline (or hexatic) order and thermal fluctuations in membranes with vanishing surface tension. If the connectivity of the crystalline state is preserved, the…

Theory of Two-Dimensional Melting
- B. Halperin, D. Nelson
- Physics
- 10 July 1978
The consequences of a theory of dislocation-mediated two-dimensional melting are worked out for triangular lattices. Dissociation of dislocation pairs first drives a transition into a "liquid…
