A Nonlinear Dynamical Model for Ultrafast Catalytic Transfer of Electrons at Zero Temperature
S. Aubry, G. Kopidakis
The complex amplitudes of the electronic wavefunctions on different sites are used as Kramers variables for describing Electron Transfer. The strong coupling of the electronic char…
Aspects of Discrete Breathers and New Directions
S. Aubry, G. Kopidakis
We describe results concerning the existence proofs of Discrete Breathers (DBs) in the two classes of dynamical systems with optical linear phonons and with acoustic linear phonons…
Analytic Conditions for Targeted Energy Transfer between Nonlinear Oscillators or Discrete Breathers
S. Aubry, G. Kopidakis, A. M. Morgante +1
It is well known that any amount of energy injected in a harmonic oscillator which is resonant and weakly coupled with a second harmonic oscillator, tunnels back and forth between…
Mobility and Reactivity of Discrete Breathers
S. Aubry, T. Cretegny
Breathers may be mobile close to an instability threshold where the frequency of a pinning mode vanishes. The translation mode is a marginal mode that is a solution of the lineariz…
