doi:10.3969/j.issn.1007-2985.2012.02.012

Abstract

Abstract: By using the number state method and the simplified method of quasidiscreteness multiple scales,the authors have studied quantum solitary wave solutions in a quasi-one-dimensional molecular crystal model.In this model,there are both traveling and stationary quantum solitary waves.With the help of the obtained quantum solitary wave solution,the energy levels of the quantum solitary wave have been investigated further.It is shown that the energy of the quantum solitary wave is of quantization,which makes it possible to observe quantum thermal conduction in the material.

Key words: quasi-one-dimensional molecular crystal model, quantum solitary wave, energy level
