Linear local modes induced by intrinsic localized modes in a monatomic chain

Abstract

A theory is developed to describe the effect of an intrinsic localized mode (ILM) on small vibrations in a monatomic chain with hard quartic anharmonicity. One prediction is the appearance in the chain of linear local modes nearby the ILM. To check this result, MD calculations of vibrations under strong local excitation are carried through with high precision. The results fully confirm the prediction.
