Abstract
We study the properties of heat conduction in chains of coupled particles subjected to different anharmonic on-site potentials. Particular emphasis is placed on the role of breathers in saturation of the thermal conductivity for chains with hard anharmonicity. When the chain particles are subject to on-site potentials with soft anharmonicity, we find a characteristic temperature, below which the conductivity decreases but while above which it increases.
