Effective Dynamics of Disclination Pairs

The dissipative dynamics of a pair of wedge disclinations with opposite Frank angles confined to a circular domain is investigated under the assumption of radially symmetric motion.

The dissipative dynamics of a pair of wedge disclinations with opposite Frank angles confined to a circular domain is investigated under the assumption of radially symmetric motion. Two distinct dynamical regimes are identified: a diverging-disclination regime and an…
