Anomalous heat conduction in polyethylene chains: Theory and molecular dynamics simulations
In 1955 Fermi, Pasta, and Ulam showed that a simple model for a nonlinear one-dimensional chain of particles can be nonergodic, which implied infinite thermal conductivity. A more recent investigation of a realistic model for an individual polyethylene chain suggests that this phenomenon can even pe...
