The behavior of the shear modulus caused by proliferation of dipoles of non-singular screw dislocations with finite-sized core is considered. The representation of two-dimensional Coulomb gas with smoothed-out coupling is used, and the stress–stress correlation function is calculated. A convolution integral expressed in terms of the modified Bessel function K{sub 0} is derived in order to obtain the shear modulus in approximation of interacting dipoles. Implications are demonstrated for the shear modulus near the melting transition which are due to the singularityless character of the dislocations. - Highlights: • Thermodynamics of dipoles of non-singular screw dislocations is studied below the melting. • The renormalization of the shear modulus is obtained for interacting dipoles. • Dependence of the shear modulus on the system scales is presented near the melting.
