Summary

This study investigates discrete topological solitary waves, or kinks, in nonlinear models of proton transfers within hydrogen-bonded networks. Researchers found these waves exhibit unique stability switching behaviors in two-component models, differing between kinks and antikinks.

Area of Science:

  • Condensed Matter Physics
  • Nonlinear Dynamics
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Proton transfers in hydrogen-bonded networks are crucial for collective dynamics.
  • Discrete topological solitary waves, such as kinks and antikinks, are key to understanding these dynamics.
  • Nonlinear diatomic chain models capture essential features of these systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate discrete topological solitary waves (kinks and antikinks) in two nonlinear diatomic chain models.
  • To analyze the collective dynamics of proton transfers in one-dimensional hydrogen-bonded networks.
  • To compare the properties of soliton solutions in one- and two-component models.

Main Methods:

  • Development of two nonlinear diatomic chain models incorporating realistic ion-proton interactions and coupling.

  • Numerical determination of exact two-component discrete kink and antikink solutions.
  • Comparative analysis of soliton properties and stability switchings in one- and two-component systems.

    • Main Results:

    • Exact numerical solutions for discrete kink and antikink solitary waves were found in both models.
    • Stability switchings, previously observed in one-component models, were also found in the two-component models.
    • The presence of a second component (soft heavy-ion sublattice) led to significant differences in stability switching behavior between kinks and antikinks.

    Conclusions:

    • The study confirms the existence of discrete topological (anti)kink states in nonlinear diatomic chains.
    • The behavior of these states, particularly stability switchings, is significantly influenced by the model's dimensionality and component interactions.
    • Water-filled carbon nanotubes are proposed as potential systems for observing these topological discrete states.
