A New Model for the Shear of Atomic PlanesAbstract The article presents a model that describes the shear of atomic planes in crystalline solids by accounting for their electronic structure. Previous studies have shown that an isotropic distribution of valence electrons leads to a spherically symmetric interatomic potential, which affects the stability of the crystal lattice against small shear [...] |
