Energy funneling in a bent chain of Morse oscillators with long-range coupling

Pattern Formation and Solitons 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

A bent chain of coupled Morse oscillators with long-range dispersive interaction is considered. Moving localized excitations may be trapped in the bending region. Thus chain geometry acts like an impurity. An energy funneling effect is observed in the case of random initial conditions.
