From solitons to discrete breathers

The excitation of solitons and discrete breathers (pinned or otherwise, also known as intrinsic localized modes, DB/ILM) in a one-dimensional lattice, also denoted as a chain, is considered when both on-site and inter-site vibrations, coupled together, are governed by the empirical Morse interaction...

Summary:The excitation of solitons and discrete breathers (pinned or otherwise, also known as intrinsic localized modes, DB/ILM) in a one-dimensional lattice, also denoted as a chain, is considered when both on-site and inter-site vibrations, coupled together, are governed by the empirical Morse interaction. We focus attention on the transformation of the former into the latter as the relative strength of the on-site potential to that of the inter-site potential is increased.
