Abstract
Heat conduction through a disordered Fermi-Pasta-Ulam-β (DFPU-β) chain is studied. The presence of disorder makes the heat current behave significantly different from that of the ordered Fermi-Pasta-Ulam-β (FPU-β) chain. Thanks to the interplay between disorder and anharmonicity, a nonmonotonic-monotonic transition occurs when the disorder strength increases. That is, a peak for the heat current emerges for weak disorder; however, monotonic increasing of the heat current shows up for strong disorder. This can be understood based on the competition between two effects of anharmonicity on phonons, namely, delocalization and phonon-phonon scattering, which is shown by the spectral decomposition of heat current.
