Abstract

Incommensurability of interacting sublattices in inorganic suprastructures can lead to formation of defects, including fragmentation of one of the sublattices. A theoretical approach is proposed, which is based on the analytical and numerical studies of the static one-dimensional Frenkel–Kontorova model for chains of finite length. This approach provides the possibility of relating geometric and energy parameters of the interacting sublattices to the values of bond deformations that arise. These deformations, in turn, may result in the fragmentation of one of the sublattices and formation of imperfect structures.
