Extended Data Fig. 10: Change in energy.
From: Helical van der Waals crystals with discretized Eshelby twist
The total change in energy upon introduction of one dislocation pair into a nanowire of radius R (dimensionless), given that the initial twist rate of the wire is set at Ri = 100. Note that for these conditions there is a critical value of R necessary to introduce misfit dislocations, as well as a critical thickness. Note also that the energy is only reduced over a range of ∆l. See Methods for details.
