Abstract

Delocalized nonlinear vibrational modes (DNVMs) play a very important role in the study of the dynamics of a nonlinear lattice in solid state physics. Such modes are exact solutions to the equations of motion of atoms dictated by the lattice space symmetry. If the amplitude of DNVM is above the threshold value, it is modulationally unstable. In the present study, we consider the stability of DNVMs in a two-dimensional (2D) triangular lattice with atoms interacting via the Morse potential. Critical exponents are calculated numerically as functions of the DNVM amplitude. Extrapolation to the zero value of the critical exponent gives an estimation of the DNVM amplitude, below which it is stable.
