Summary:
It is known that graphene stretched along the zigzag direction supports gap discrete breathers (also called intrinsic localized modes) in the form of two neighboring atoms vibrating out-of-phase along the armchair direction [1]. It is also possible to excite a chain of such DBs. In this work the interaction of small amplitude phonon waves propagating along the armchair direction with the chain of DBs is analyzed by means of MD simulations based on the AIREBO interatomic potentials.
