Dislocation mobility in quasicrystals is calculated using basic thermodynamic and hydrodynamic equations. The dependence of the dislocation mobility on viscosity, vacancies and phasons is given. It is shown that the phasonic defects make the major contribution to the inverse mobility of the free segments of dislocations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
