The wavefunction of an incommensurate ground state for a one-dimensional discrete sine-Gordon model -- the Frenkel-Kontorova (FK) model -- at zero temperature is calculated by the quantum Monte Carlo method. It is found that the ground…
The nonlinear response of an adsorbed layer on a periodic substrate to an external force is studied via a two dimensional uniaxial Frenkel-Kontorova model. The nonequlibrium properties of the model are simulated by Brownian molecular…
In this paper, we have studied the one-dimensional commensurate quantum Frenkel-Kontorova model by a density-matrix renormalization group (DMRG) algorithm. The focus has been on its properties of the entanglement, the coordinate…
In the dynamics of the undamped Frenkel-Kontorova model with kinetic terms, we find a transition between two regimes, a floating incommensurate and a pinned incommensurate phase. This behavior is compared to the static version of the model.…
Recently, it has been claimed (O. V. Gendelman and A. V. Savin, Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 84}, 2381 (2000); A.V.Savin and O.V.Gendelman, arXiv: cond-mat/0204631 (2002)) that two nonlinear classical 1-d lattice models show transitions, at finite…
The dynamical behavior of a harmonic chain in a spatially periodic potential (Frenkel-Kontorova model, discrete sine-Gordon equation) under the influence of an external force and a velocity proportional damping is investigated. We do this…
Simple models for friction are typically one-dimensional, but real interfaces are two-dimensional. We investigate the effects of the second dimension on static and dynamic friction by using the Frenkel-Kontorova (FK) model. We study the two…
In this paper, it is shown that a configuration modulated system described by the Frenkel-Kontorova model can be locked at an incommensurate phase when the quantum zero point energy is taken into account. It is also found that the specific…
Numerical simulation of the dislocation motion in 2D Frenkel - Kontorova (FK) model in the thermostat shows an unusual dynamical behavior. It appears that ''kink'' regime of dislocation gliding takes place in a certain region of parameters…
We consider a prototypical model in which a nonlinear field (continuum or discrete) evolves on a flexible substrate which feeds back to the evolution of the main field. We identify the underlying physics and potential applications of such a…
A new generation of experiments on dry macroscopic friction has revealed that the transition from static to dynamic friction is essentially a spatially and temporally non-uniform process, initiated by a rupture-like detachment front. We…
Molecular dynamics simulations are used to investigate the atomic mobility and diffusivity of a generalized Frenkel-Kontorova model which takes into account anharmonic (exponential) interaction of atoms subjected to a three-dimensional…
We solved the Frenkel-Kontorova model with the potential $V(u)= -\frac{1}{2} |\lambda|(u-{\rm Int}[u]-\frac{1}{2})^2$ exactly. For given $|\lambda|$, there exists a positive integer $q_c$ such that for almost all values of the tensile force…
A computer simulation of thermofluctuation nucleation of kinks on dislocations and their dynamics is carried out in the framework of two-dimensional (2D) Frenkel-Kontorova model. It is shown that at relatively low temperatures and applied…
The dynamical behavior of a weakly damped harmonic chain in a spatially periodic potential (Frenkel-Kontorova model) under the subject of an external force is investigated. We show that the chain can be in a spatio-temporally chaotic state…
The energy spectra and quantum diffusion of an electron in a 1D incommensurate Frenkel-Kontorova (FK) model are studied numerically. We found that the spectral and dynamical properties of electron display quite different behaviors in…
We study surface diffusion in the framework of a generalized Frenkel-Kontorova model with a nonconvex transverse degree of freedom. The model describes a lattice of atoms with a given concentration interacting by Morse-type forces, the…
A two-dimensional Frenkel-Kontorova model is set up. Its application to the tribology is considered. The materials and the commensurability between two layers strongly affect the static friction force. It is found that the static friction…
The stability of the ferromagnetic phase of the 2D quantum spin-1/2 model with nearest-neighbor ferro- and next-nearest neighbor antiferromagnetic interactions is studied. It turns out that values of exchange integrals at which the…
We rigorously show that dissipatively driven Frenkel-Kontorova models with either uniform or time-periodic driving asymptotically synchronize for a wide range of initial conditions. The main tool is a new Lyapunov function, as well as a 2D…
