Abstract
We study heat conduction in one, two and three dimensional anharmonic lattices connected to stochastic Langevin heat baths. The inter-atomic potential of the lattices is double-well type, i.e., with and . We observe two different temperature regimes of transport: a high-temperature regime where asymptotic length dependence of nonequilibrium steady state heat current is similar to the well-known Fermi-Pasta-Ulam lattices with an inter-atomic potential, with . A low temperature regime where heat conduction is diffusive normal satisfying Fourier's law. We present our simulation results at different temperature regimes in all dimensions.
