Abstract

We report on the unified approach to the classification of defects in continuum-based analysis of the defect self-distortions. Defects of various dimensionality including point, linear, surface, and volume defects are considered depending on the domain of self-distortion definition. The results of analytical calculations of elastic fields and the energies of dislocations, disclinations, and inclusions in bodies of various geometries with internal and external boundaries are considered. Examples of defects in modern functional materials, e.g., graphene, are given. It is discussed how the presence of defects and associated elastic fields affects the properties of modern functional materials and the characteristics of devices based on them.
