Area of Science:

  • Nonlinear dynamics
  • Statistical mechanics
  • Condensed matter physics

Background:

  • Heat conduction in 1D nonlinear chains is complex.
  • Understanding its relation to system dynamics is crucial.
  • Fourier's law validity in such systems requires investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate heat conduction in 1D nonlinear chains.
  • To explore the relationship between dynamical properties and heat transport.
  • To demonstrate the control of thermal conductivity via system parameters.

Main Methods:

  • Numerical simulations were employed.
  • Analysis focused on dynamical properties and heat transport.
  • System parameters were systematically varied.

Main Results:

  • Fourier's law of heat conduction is validated in linear mixing systems.
  • Normal heat transport occurs in systems lacking exponential instability.
  • A transition from conducting to insulating behavior was induced by altering onsite potential strength.

Conclusions:

  • Deterministic diffusion and normal heat transport are not exclusive to hyperbolic systems.
  • Nonlinearity offers a mechanism to control heat conduction.
  • This control enables the design of novel devices like thermal rectifiers.
