Description
Supersolidity is a peculiar phase of matter in which superfluidity and crystalline order coexist. Owing to this dual character, it provides a powerful platform for investigating systems with multiple simultaneously broken symmetries, such as nuclear matter in the interior of neutron stars. In this work, we simulate the dynamics of the neutron-star inner crust during a glitch, focusing on the excitations induced by density modulations and on interface effects arising between layers at different radial depths within the star.
