Defect-Driven Shape Instabilities of Bundles
Topological defects are crucial to the thermodynamics and structure of condensed matter systems. For instance, when incorporated into crystalline membranes like graphene, disclinations with positive and negative topological charge elastically buckle the material into conical and saddlelike shapes, r...
