Disordered elastic systems and one-dimensional interfaces

TLDR
In this paper, the authors introduce the generic framework of disordered elastic systems (DES), giving a short "recipe" of a DES modeling and presenting the quantities of interest in order to probe the static and dynamical disorder-induced properties of such systems.
Abstract
We briefly introduce the generic framework of disordered elastic systems (DES), giving a short ‘recipe’ of a DES modeling and presenting the quantities of interest in order to probe the static and dynamical disorder-induced properties of such systems. We then focus on a particular low-dimensional DES, namely the one-dimensional interface in short-ranged elasticity and short-ranged quenched disorder. Illustrating different elements given in the introductory sections, we discuss specifically the consequences of the interplay between a finite temperature T > 0 and a finite interface width ξ > 0 on the static geometrical fluctuations at different lengthscales, and the implications on the quasistatic dynamics.

Deformation and flow of amorphous solids: Insights from elastoplastic models

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the physical insight provided by elastoplastic models into practical issues such as strain localization, creep and steady-state rheology, but also the fundamental questions that they address with respect to criticality at the yielding point and the statistics of avalanches of plastic events.

The Peierls instability and charge density wave in one-dimensional electronic conductors

TL;DR: In this paper, structural and electronic features associated with the concomitant Peierls-charge density wave (CDW) instabilities observed in most one-dimensional (1D) inorganic and organic electronic conductors are reviewed.

Domain Wall Creep in Epitaxial Ferroelectric P b ( Z r 0.2 T i 0.8 ) O 3 Thin Films

TL;DR: The electric field dependence of the domain wall velocity demonstrates that domain wall motion in ferroelectric thin films is a creep process, with the critical exponent mu close to 1.The dimensionality of the films suggests that disorder is at the origin of the observed creep behavior.

Elastic theory of flux lattices in the presence of weak disorder.

TL;DR: Qualitative arguments are given suggesting the existence for weak disorder in $d=3$ of a `` Bragg glass '' phase without free dislocations and with algebraically divergent Bragg peaks.

Creep and depinning in disordered media

TL;DR: In this paper, functional renormalization-group equations were derived to describe the depinning transition at zero temperature and a creep regime at finite temperature and slow drive f. Since they hold at finite velocity v, they allow to remedy some shortcomings of the previous approaches to zero-temperature depinning.
