We present a self-consistent mesoscale description of deformations and defects in thin, flexible sheets with crystalline order using a coarse-grained Phase-Field Crystal (PFC) model which aims at bridging atomistic and continuum approaches.
The PFC model describes crystals at diffusive timescales through a continuous periodic field representing the atomic number density. In its amplitude expansion (APFC), a coarse-grained description featuring slowly varying fields retaining lattice deformation, elasticity, and dislocations is achieved. We introduce the surface APFC (sAPFC) model in a convenient height formulation encoding normal deformation.
This framework is proven consistent with classical aspects of strain-induced buckling, defect nucleation on deformed surfaces, and out-of-plane relaxation near dislocations obtained from atomistic and continuum descriptions. By considering the mutual interaction of elastic/plastic relaxation and variations in the height profile as accessible within the sAPFC model, we outline the complexity of the resulting phenomenology.
