One-dimensional nanostructure-guided chain reactions: Harmonic and anharmonic interactions

We have performed a parametric study of self-propagating chain reactions along a one-dimensional bead-spring array. The coupling between beads is modeled using harmonic and anharmonic Fermi-Pasta-Ulam (FPU)-β and φ[superscript 4] potentials. The parameters that define the system are the activation e...
