Energy transfer in hydrogen-bonded chains with asymmetric double-well potentials of hydrogen bonds

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

It is shown that the two-component soliton of a new type travels in hydrogen-bonded chains if we take into account the asymmetry of the double-minimum potential of hydrogen bonds and the interaction between the proton and heavy ion sublattices. The calculated energy of the soliton for a weak proton-ion interaction is close to the activation energy measured in experiments for the proton conductivity in ice crystals.
