Possibility of Turbulent Crystals
Abstract
The possibility for the occurrence in crystals of a phenomenon, resembling turbulence, is discussed. This phenomenon, called heterophase turbulence, is manifested by the fluctuational appearance inside a crystalline sample of disordered regions randomly distributed in space. The averaged picture for such a turbulent solid is exemplified by an exactly solvable lattice-gas model. The origin of heterophase turbulence is connected with stochastic instability of quasi-isolated systems.
