The proton conductivity and the mobility arising from motions of the ionic and bonded defects, in hydrogen-bonded molecular systems are investigated by means of the quantum mechanical method. Our two component model goes beyond the usual classical harmonic interaction by inclusion of a quartic...

The dynamics of protons in hydrogen-bonded quasi one-dimensional networks are studied using a diatomic lattice model of protons and heavy ions including a φ<Superscript>4</Superscript> on-site substrate potential. It is shows that the model with linear and nonlinear coupling of the quartic type between lattice sites for...</superscript>

Excitations of the polaron types are investigated in the spin-1/2 quantum chain with XY exchange and Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya interaction, both coupled to acoustic vibrations of the substrate lattice. The study is carried out via Jordan-Wigner transformation with the help of which the spin chain is...

We study the dynamics of moving discrete breathers in an interfaced piecewise DNA molecule. This is a DNA chain in which all the base pairs are identical and there exists an interface such that the base pairs dipole moments at each side are oriented in opposite directions. The Hamiltonian of the...

We investigate envelope solitary waves on square lattices with two degrees of freedom and nonlinear nearest and next-nearest neighbor interactions. We consider solitary waves which are localized in the direction of their motion and periodically modulated along the perpendicular direction. In the...
