Mertens (Physikalisches Institut, Universitat Bayreuth, Germany | Abstract: | We study whether or not sine-Gordon kinks exhibit internal modes or ``quasimodes.’’ By considering the response of the kinks to ac forces and initial distortions, we show that neither intrinsic internal modes nor ``quasimodes’’ exist in contrast to previous reports. However, we do identify a different kind of internal mode bifurcating from the bottom edge of the phonon band which arises from the discretization of the system in the numerical simulations, thus confirming recent predictions. | Source: | arXiv, cond-mat/0006314 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
