It is well known that periodic discrete defect-containing systems support both traveling
waves and vibrational defect-localized modes. It turns out that if a periodic discrete system is …

We review the current stage of research of track formation processes and mechanisms in
materials irradiated by swift ions. We show that the nature and morphology of tracks depend …

It is well known that a modulationally unstable short-wavelength delocalized nonlinear
vibrational mode (DNVM) can create chaotic discrete breathers (DBs) in a nonlinear lattice …

A density functional theory (DFT) study of the discrete breathers (DBs) in graphane (fully
hydrogenated graphene) was performed. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first …

It is known that defect-free crystals can support spatially localized, large amplitude
vibrational modes with frequencies outside the linear phonon spectrum. Such excitations are …

A practical approach to the search for (quasi-) discrete breathers (DBs) in a triangular β-
FPUT lattice (after Fermi, Pasta, Ulam, and Tsingou) is proposed. DBs are obtained by …

Linear and nonlinear dynamics of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) lattice is studied by means
of molecular dynamics simulations with the use of the Tersoff interatomic potentials. It is …

The localization of energy on chaotic discrete breathers (DBs) arising in a two-dimensional
triangular lattice due to the modulation instability of delocalized nonlinear vibrational modes …

Uranium is an important radioactive material used in the field of nuclear energy and it is
interesting from the scientific point of view because it possesses unique structure and …

Discrete breather (DB) or, synonymously, intrinsic localized mode (ILM) is a spatially
localized and time-periodic vibrational mode in a defect-free nonlinear lattice, eg, in a crystal …
