Interaction of discrete breathers with thermal fluctuations

Discrete breathers (DB) are time-periodic and spatially localized lattice excitations, which can be linearly stable or unstable with respect to either localized or extended perturbations. We analyze the interaction of DBs with a thermalized background of small amplitude lattice excitations in a on...

Discrete breathers (DB) are time-periodic and spatially localized lattice excitations, which can be linearly stable or unstable with respect to either localized or extended perturbations. We analyze the interaction of DBs with a thermalized background of small amplitude lattice excitations in a one-dimensional lattice of Morse oscillators with nearest neighbour interaction. We find that stable DBs are barely influenced by the thermal noise. Unstable DBs are starting to propagate through the lattice, without loosing their localization character. The instability can be both due to localized perturbations, as well as due to extended perturbations. We discuss these observations in terms of resonances of DBs with localized and delocalized perturbations, and relate them to the issue of DB impact on statistical properties of nonlinear lattices.
This work is dedicated to the memory of Arnold Markovich Kosevich. His early contributions in the field of discrete breathers have been of great importance for further progress in the subject. Arnold Markovich's continued interest in that field, over decades, was very important, and stimulated and motivated the interest of especially young researchers in this rapidly evolving area of nonlinear dynamics and physics of complex systems.
