Abstract
A theoretical investigation has been made of localized excitations having the form of kinks or domain walls in translationally invariant monatomic lattices with harmonic and quartic anharmonic interactions between nearest-neighbor atoms. Antisymmetric kinks are found for negative values of the anharmonic coefficient. Symmetric kinks are found to be poorly defined for translationally invariant anharmonic potentials. In the case of domain walls, stable solutions were obtained only for negative values of the anharmonic coefficient. These results are compared with those for on-site quartic anharmonicity.
