Abstract

The energy transfer affected by the presence of discrete breathers (DB) in the carbon nanoribbons is investigated by means of molecular dynamics. The nanoribbons we consider are long in the “armchair” direction and narrow in “zigzag” direction graphene planes. The system is treated under the strain with deformation components being εxx = 0.35 (which coincides with zigzag direction), εyy = −0.1 (which coincides with armchair direction). Such strain applied to graphene leads to the existence of the gap in phonon spectrum and therefore to the possibility of exciting discrete breathers with frequencies within the gap. The energy transfer to the system is induced by shaking of the central zigzag chain (the carbon chain of atoms prolate in x direction). The shaking is implemented by displacing each atom of the chain according to the sinusoidal function of time. It is shown that for the frequencies of shaking lying in the gap of graphene phonon spectrum there is non negligible energy transfer to the ribbon. We attribute this phenomenon with the excitation of two discrete breathers (one at each side of the shaking chain). For the frequencies of shaking being lower than the discrete breather resonant frequency the DB prevents energy transfer to the system, while for higher frequencies of shaking the DB promotes the energy spreading.
