Localized modes in a chain with nonlinear on-site potential
نویسنده
چکیده
Localized modes are analysed for a chain with nonlinear on-site potential using an approximation based on the discrete nonlinear Schr0dinger equation. It is pointed out that such localized modes exist in the parameter domains where the system displays modulational instability. Otherwise, nonlinear modes may appear in the form of dark-profile localized structures, and two types of such structures are found. The decay time of strongly localized nonlinear modes is also estimated.

Compactification tuning for nonlinear localized modes in sawtooth lattices.
We discuss the properties of nonlinear localized modes in sawtooth lattices, in the framework of a discrete nonlinear Schrödinger model with general on-site nonlinearity. Analytic conditions for existence of exact compact three-site solutions are obtained, and explicitly illustrated for the cases of power-law (cubic) and saturable nonlinearities. These nonlinear compact modes appear as continua...
متن کاملMultiple states of intrinsic localized modes
In the framework of the continuum approximation, localized modes in nonlinear lattices ~‘‘intrinsic localized modes’’ or ‘‘discrete breathers’’! are described by the nonlinear Schrödinger ~NLS! equation. We go beyond this approximation and analyze what kind of qualitatively new effects can be introduced by discreteness. Taking into account the higher-order linear and nonlinear dispersion terms ...
متن کاملLocalized gap modes in nonlinear dimerized Lieb lattices
Compact localized modes of ring type exist in many two-dimensional lattices with a flat linear band, such as the Lieb lattice. The uniform Lieb lattice is gapless, but gaps surrounding the flat band can be induced by various types of bond alternations (dimerizations) without destroying the compact linear eigenmodes. Here, we investigate the conditions under which such diffractionless modes can ...
متن کاملInstabilities and bifurcations of nonlinear impurity modes.
We study the structure and stability of nonlinear impurity modes in the discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation with a single on-site nonlinear impurity emphasizing the effects of interplay between discreteness, nonlinearity, and disorder. We show how the interaction of a nonlinear localized mode (a discrete soliton or discrete breather) with a repulsive impurity generates a family of stationar...

We report a theoretical analysis of intrinsic localized modes in a quasi-one-dimensional charge-transfer-solid [P t(en) 2 ][P t(en) 2 Cl 2 ](ClO 4) 4 (PtCl). We discuss strongly nonlinear features of resonant Raman overtone scattering measurements on PtCl, arising from quantum intrinsic localized (multi-phonon) modes (ILMs) and ILM-plus-phonon states. We show, that Ra-man scattering data displa...
