Discontinuous yielding of pristine micro-crystals

We study the mechanical response of a dislocation-free 2D crystal under homogenous shear using a new mesoscopic approach to crystal plasticity, a Landau-type theory, accounting for the global invariance of the energy in the space of strain tensors while operating with an infinite number of equivalen...
