The problem of a piezoelectric screw dislocation emitted from a blunt crack is dealt with in this paper. For an arbitrary distribution of the residual dislocation, the series-form solutions are derived. The results show that the force acting on the dislocation decreases with the value of the dielectric constant within the crack increasing. And the increase of the dielectric constant within the crack helps dislocation emission effectively.

This paper is concerned with the interaction of a piezoelectric screw dislocation with a semi-infinite dielectric crack in a piezoelectric medium with hexagonal symmetry. The solution of the considered problem is obtained from the dislocation solution of a piezoelectric half-plane adjoining a gas medium of dielectric constant ε0 by using the conformal mapping method. The intensity factors of stress, electric displacement and electric field and the image force on the dislocation are given explicitly. The effect of electric boundary conditions on the dislocation-crack interaction is analyzed and discussed in detail. The results show that ε0 only influences the electric displacement and electric field intensity factors and the image force produced by the electric potential jump.

The X-cube model, a prototypical gapped fracton model, was shown in Ref. [1] to have a foliation structure. That is, inside the 3+1 D model, there are hidden layers of 2+1 D gapped topological states. A screw dislocation in a 3+1 D lattice can often reveal nontrivial features associated with a layered structure. In this paper, we study the X-cube model on lattices with screw dislocations. In particular, we find that a screw dislocation results in a finite change in the logarithm of the ground state degeneracy of the model. Part of the change can be traced back to the effect of screw dislocations in a simple stack of 2+1 D topological states, hence corroborating the foliation structure in the model. The other part of the change comes from the induced motion of fractons or sub-dimensional excitations along the dislocation, a feature absent in the stack of 2+1D layers.

We examine the behavior of spin-zero bosons in an elastic medium which possesses a screw dislocation, which is a type of topological defect. Therefore, we solve analytically the Duffin–Kemmer–Petiau (DKP) oscillator for bosons in the presence of a screw dislocation with two types of potential functions: Cornell and linear-plus-cubic potential functions. For each of these functions, we analyze the impact of screw dislocations by determining the wave functions and the energy eigenvalues with the help of the Nikiforov–Uvarov method and Heun function.
