Abstract

We investigate various dynamic structure factors for harmonic and anharmonic chains. For harmonic chains with mass disorder we find some unexpected features, such as a fine structure contributing to a central peak, which is present also in the spatial spectra of the eigenfunctions. These results are contrasted with structure factors of Lyapunov modes obtained for the disordered Lennard-Jones chain. For this nonlinear system the static and the dynamic Lyapunov structure factors show opposite trends in their temperature dependence.
