Fast energy transfer mediated by multi-quanta bound states in a nonlinear quantum lattice
Cyril Falvo, Vincent Pouthier, J. C. Eilbeck
By using a Generalized Hubbard model for bosons, the energy transfer in a nonlinear quantum lattice is studied, with special emphasis on the interplay between local and nonlocal no…
Vibron-polaron in alpha-helices. II. Two-vibron bound states
Cyril Falvo, Vincent Pouthier
The two-vibron dynamics associated to amide-I vibrations in a 3D -helix is described according to a generalized Davydov model. The helix is modeled by three spines of hydrogen-b…
Vibron-polaron in alpha-helices. I. Single-vibron states
Cyril Falvo, Vincent J. C. Pouthier
The vibron dynamics associated to amide-I vibrations in a 3D alpha-helix is described according to a generalized Davydov model. The helix is modeled by three spines of hydrogen-bon…
Vibron-polaron critical localization in a finite size molecular nanowire
Cyril Falvo, Vincent J. C. Pouthier
The small polaron theory is applied to describe the vibron dynamics in an adsorbed nanowire with a special emphasis onto finite size effects. It is shown that the finite size of th…
Relaxation channels of two-vibron bound states in α-helix proteins
Vincent J. C. Pouthier, Cyril Falvo
Relaxation channels for two-vibron bound states in an anharmonic alpha-helix protein are studied. It is pointed out that the relaxation originates in the interaction between the dr…
