Nanometric flow and earthquake instability

Fault zones accommodate relative motion between tectonic blocks and control earthquake nucleation. Nanocrystalline fault rocks are ubiquitous in "principal slip zones" indicating that these materials are determining fault stability. However, the rheology of nanocrystalline fault rocks rema...
