Abstract

Highlights: \begin{itemize} \item Relativistic effect of crystal dynamics "freezing". \item Non-statistical model of thermodynamic equilibration. \end{itemize} The dynamics of oscillations of a one-dimensional atomic chain is investigated in the harmonic approximation, taking into account the relativistic effect of retardation of interactions. It is shown that all oscillations of the chain are damped. A non-statistical mechanism for the irreversible thermodynamic equilibration in many-body systems is proposed.
