The author first uses novel molecular dynamics simulations to parameterise an efficient, stochastic and discrete dislocation model that allows access to experimental time and length scales. Simulated trajectories are in excellent agreement with experiment. The author also applies modern methods of multiscale analysis to extract novel bounds on the transport properties of these many body systems. Despite their successes in coarse graining, existing theories are found unable to explain stochastic defect dynamics. To resolve this, the author defines crystal defects through projection operators, without any recourse to elasticity. By rigorous dimensional reduction, explicit analytical forms are derived for the stochastic forces acting on crystal defects, allowing new quantitative insight into the role of thermal fluctuations in crystal plasticity.Springer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,2190-5053Solid state physicsStatistical physicsDynamical systemsPhysicsSolid State Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25013Complex Systemshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P33000Numerical and Computational Physics, Simulationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19021Statistical Physics and Dynamical Systemshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19090Solid state physics.Statistical physics.Dynamical systems.Physics.Solid State Physics.Complex Systems.Numerical and Computational Physics, Simulation.Statistical Physics and Dynamical Systems.548.8420153154Swinburne Thomas Dauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut792539MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910300402403321Stochastic Dynamics of Crystal Defects1772356UNINA
