Breakdown of Charge-Conjugation Symmetry of Disclinations in 2D Crystals

Disclinations are elementary topological defects in two-dimensional (2D) crystalline membranes, yet their elastic properties remain largely unexplored.

Disclinations are elementary topological defects in two-dimensional (2D) crystalline membranes, yet their elastic properties remain largely unexplored. Using atomistic simulations, we address the energetics, morphology, and interactions of disclinations in free-standing…
