Curvature-Controlled Defect Localization in Elastic Surface Crystals

Curvature-Controlled Defect Localization in Elastic Surface Crystals

We investigate the influence of curvature and topology on crystalline dimpled patterns on the surface of generic elastic bilayers. Our numerical analysis predicts that the total number of defects created by adiabatic compression exhibits universal quadratic scaling for spherical, ellipsoidal, and to...
