@article{ISI:000179169600022, abstract = {The nonequilibrium dynamical behaviour that arises when two ordered two-dimensional monolayers of particles are sheared over each other is studied in Brownian dynamics simulations. A curious sequence of nonequilibrium states is observed as the driving rate is increased, the most striking of which is a sliding state with irregular alternation between disordered and ordered states. We comment on possible mechanisms underlying these cycles, and experiments that could observe them.}, author = {Das, M and Ramaswamy, S and Ananthakrishna, G}, doi = {10.1209/epl/i2002-00265-7}, issn = {0295-5075}, journal = {EUROPHYSICS LETTERS}, month = {NOV}, number = {4}, pages = {636-642}, times-cited = {11}, title = {Melting-freezing cycles in a relatively sheared pair of crystalline monolayers}, unique-id = {ISI:000179169600022}, volume = {60}, year = {2002} }
