Blaschke","Ta Duong","Michael J. Demkowicz"],"abstract":"Transonic defect motion is of interest for high strain-rate plastic deformation as well as for crack propagation. Ever since Eshelby's 1949 prediction in the isotropic limit of a 'radiation-free' transonic velocity $v_\\text{RF}=\\sqrt{2}c_{\\textrm{T}}$, where shock waves are absent, there has been speculation about the significance of radiation-free velocities for defect mobility. Here, we argue that they do not play any significant role in dislocation dynamics in metals, based on comparing theoretical predictions of radiation-free velocities for transonic edge dislocations with molecular dynamics simulations for two face-centered cubic (FCC) metals: Cu, which has no radiation-free states, and Ag, which does.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.06980v4","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2305.06980v4.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"on-radiation-free-velocities-of-edge","repo_url":"https://github.com/dblaschke-LANL/PyDislocDyn","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
