Actinide elements produce a plethora of interesting physical behaviors due to the 5 f states.
This review compiles and analyzes progress in the understanding of the electronic and …

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 …

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 …

Inelastic neutron measurements of the high-temperature lattice excitations in NaI show that
in thermal equilibrium at 555 K an intrinsic mode, localized in three dimensions, occurs at a …

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 …

Recent neutron and X-ray scattering measurements show intrinsic localized modes (ILMs) in
metallic uranium and ionic sodium iodide. Here, the role ILMs play in the behavior of these …

By means of molecular dynamics simulations it is demonstrated that moving discrete
breathers (DBs) can be excited in pure bcc metals such as V, Fe and W. For each of the …

It has been shown recently that a moving discrete breathers localized in one close-packed
atomic row can be excited in a two-dimensional monoatomic crystal with Morse interaction …

The methods of the density functional theory were used for the first time for the simulation of
discrete breathers in graphene. It is demonstrated that breathers can exist with frequencies …
