Mobility of discrete multibreathers in the exciton dynamics of the Davydov model with saturable nonlinearities

Abstract: We show that the state of amide-I excitations in proteins is modeled by the discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation with saturable nonlinearities. This is done by extending the Davydov model to take into account the competition between local compression and local dilatation of the lattice, thus leading to the interplay between self-focusing and defocusing saturable nonlinearities. Site-centered (sc) mode and/or bond-centered mode like discrete multihump soliton (DMHS) solutions are found numerically and their … Show more

“…A generalization of the polaron to solectron, which is the bound state of the crowdion or DB and electron has been proposed [55] to discuss the peculiarities of electron transport in crystals [56][57][58][59]. As a future challenge, it is important to search for DB in auxetics, among which are crystals and other discrete nonlinear systems [60][61][62][63][64][65].…”
