Studies of thermal conductivity in Fermi-Pasta-Ulam-like lattices.
The pioneering computer simulations of the energy relaxation mechanisms performed by Fermi, Pasta, and Ulam (FPU) can be considered as the first attempt of understanding energy relaxation and thus heat conduction in lattices of nonlinear oscillators. In this paper we describe the most recent achievements about the divergence of heat conductivity with the system size in one-dimensional (1D) and ...
متن کاملTemperature dependence of thermal conductivity in 1D nonlinear lattices
We examine the temperature dependence of thermal conductivity of one dimensional nonlinear (anharmonic) lattices with and without on-site potential. It is found from computer simulation that the heat conductivity depends on temperature via the strength of nonlinearity. Based on this correlation, we make a conjecture in the effective phonon theory that the meanfree-path of the effective phonon i...
متن کاملUltrasonic Kink-Solitons in Fermi-Pasta-Ulam Chains
– We use the sharp pulse method to perform numerical experiments aimed at exciting moving high energy strongly localized kink-solitons in the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam chain of anharmonic oscillators. An approximate analytical expression of the kink-soliton is derived. This is compatible with the fact that these objects move with ultrasonic velocities, proportional to stiffness. For low excitation energ...
متن کاملThermal conductivity, relaxation and low-frequency vibrational mode anomalies in glasses: a model using the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam nonlinear Hamiltonian.
We present a nonlinear model that allows exploration of the relationship between energy relaxation, thermal conductivity and the excess of low-frequency vibrational modes (LFVMs) that are present in glasses. The model is a chain of the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam (FPU) type, with nonlinear second neighbour springs added at random. We show that the time for relaxation is increased as LFVMs are removed, whi...
متن کاملComment on "Equilibration and universal heat conduction in fermi-pasta-ulam chains".
It is shown numerically that for Fermi-Pasta-Ulam (FPU) chains with alternating masses and heat baths at slightly different temperatures at the ends, the local temperature (LT) on small scales behaves paradoxically in steady state. This expands the long established problem of equilibration of FPU chains. A well-behaved LT appears to be achieved for equal mass chains; the thermal conductivity is...
