Abstract:
By means of the semidiscrete multiple-scale method, we study the existence and properties of high-order envelope solitons and discrete breathers in a homogeneous DNA chain model that is based on pairing enthalpies and site-dependent finite stacking. We obtain the analytical solutions for an envelope soliton, and find that at the Brillouin zone center, discrete breather solutions can appear below the bottom of the phonon band. The behavior of two solitons in collisions and the stability of discrete breathers are confirmed by numerical simulations of the exact equations of the system.

Spin–Spin Coupling: Two-Bond Coupling (Geminal Coupling)
The central atom need not be NMR-active because its electrons are affected by the electron polarization of the spin-active atoms. However, spin information is transmitted less effectively than in one-bond coupling, and 2J values are usually weaker than 1J values. The energy of...
