Pre-Yield Non-Affine Fluctuations and A Hidden Critical Point in Strained Crystals

A crystalline solid exhibits thermally induced localised non-affine droplets in the absence of external stress. Here we show that upon an imposed shear, the size of these droplets grow until they percolate at a critical strain, well below the value at which the solid begins to yield. This critical p...
