A Family of Solitary Waves in Frenkel-Kontorova Lattice
arXiv:1910.06904
Abstract
A family of solitary waves is constructed in Frenkel-Kontorova model and its continuum and quasi-continuum approximations. Each solitary waves is characterised by the number of local maxima in its profile and a relation between external force and the velocity of wave. Such waves may be interpreted as a coherent motion, with constant velocity, of two dislocations of opposite sign or of kink-antikink pair.
