Double negative differential thermal resistance induced by the nonlinear on-site potentials
arXiv:1208.3008 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.83.052102
Abstract
We study heat conduction through one-dimensional homogeneous lattices in the presence of the nonlinear on-site potentials containing the bounded and unbounded parts, and the harmonic interaction potential. We observe the occurrence of double negative differential thermal resistance (NDTR), namely, there exist two regions of temperature difference, where the heat flux decreases as the applied temperature difference increases. The nonlinearity of the bounded part contributes to NDTR at low temperatures and NDTR at high temperatures is induced by the nonlinearity of the unbounded part. The nonlinearity of the on-site potentials is necessary to obtain NDTR for the harmonic interaction homogeneous lattices. However, for the anharmonic homogeneous lattices, NDTR even occurs in the absence of the on-site potentials, for example the rotator model.
