Small amplitude approximation and stabilities for dislocation motion in a superlattice

【摘要】 Starting from the traveling wave solution, in small amplitude approximation, the Sine-Gordon equation can be re- duced to a generalized Duffing equation to describe the dislocation motion in a superlattice, and the phase plane properties of the system phase plane are described in the absence of an applied field. The stabilities are also discussed in the presence of an applied field. It is pointed out that the separatrix orbit describing the dislocation motion as the kink wave may transfer the energy along the dislocation line, keep its form unchanged, and reveal the soliton wave properties of the dislocation motion. It is stressed that the dislocation motion process is the energy transfer and release process, and the system is stable when its energy is minimum.更多还原
