Frequency-momentum representation of moving breathers in a two dimensional hexagonal lattice
Abstract
We study nonlinear excitations propagating in a hexagonal layer which is a model for the cation layer of silicates. We consider their properties in the frequency-momentum or representation, extending the theory on pterobreathers in their moving frame for the first time to two dimensions. It can also be easily extended to three dimensions. Exact traveling waves in the representation are within {\em resonant} planes, each plane corresponding in the moving frame to a single frequency. These frequencies are integer multiples of a frequency called the fundamental frequency. A breather is within a resonant plane called the breather plane and has a single frequency in the moving frame. The intersection of the resonant planes with the phonon surfaces produce co-traveling wings with a small set of frequencies. The traveling waves obtained by perturbing the system consist of a breather and a soliton traveling together and are quasi-exact. These traveling waves can be used as seeds to obtain exact traveling waves, also formed by a breather and a soliton. The wings do exist but they are usually very small.
