Influence of moving breathers on vacancies migration

A vacancy defect is described by a Frenkel-Kontorova model with a discommensuration. This vacancy can migrate when interacts with a moving breather. We establish that the width of the interaction potential must be larger than a threshold value in order that the vacancy can move forward. This value i...

Descripción
Sumario:A vacancy defect is described by a Frenkel-Kontorova model with a discommensuration. This vacancy can migrate when interacts with a moving breather. We establish that the width of the interaction potential must be larger than a threshold value in order that the vacancy can move forward. This value is related to the existence of a breather centred at the particles adjacent to the vacancy.
