Topological Defects in Solids with Odd Elasticity

Topological Defects in Solids with Odd Elasticity

Crystallography typically studies collections of point particles whose interaction forces are the gradient of a potential. Lifting this assumption generically gives rise in the continuum limit to a form of elasticity with additional moduli known as odd elasticity. We show that such odd elastic moduli modify the strain induced by …
