In order to develop the FK model, the DFK model (Developed Frenkel-Kontorova model) is put forward: - two one-dimensional sequences of N and L point atoms, masses m and M; with coordinates {xi} and {yj}, connected by elastic springs with the laws of elastic dispersion and . Chains CH1 and CH2 interact with each other by potential Vi,j.
The Hamiltonian of the DFK model has the form:
From the analysis of the ground state of the DFK model (N = L) [1], the following conclusion follows: - when one of the Hooke’s chains is stretched by force F, an abrupt transition to the incommensurate phase occurs (F>Fc), in which part of the atoms of the stretched chain CH1 leaves the interaction with CH2. The number of atoms falling out of the Vi,j interaction space , where V0 = max Vi,j.
With strong interaction (V0 ~ 1) and strong stretching (F>Fc ~1), the size of the dislocation is 2, and the number of precipitated atoms is N/2. In this case, the incommensurate phase will be a periodic chain of hole dislocations, i.e., commensurate crystal with doubled period.
