The interaction of metals with carbon materials, specifically graphene, is importance for various technological applications. In particular, intercalation alkali believed to provide a means tuning the electronic properties graphene device While macroscopic effects such events can readily be studied, following related processes at an atomic scale in detail and under well-defined experimental conditions constitutes challenge. Here, we investigate situ adsorption nucleation K, Cs, Li on...
We consider a diatomic chain characterized by cubic anharmonic potential. After diagonalizing the harmonic case, we study in new canonical variables, nonlinear interactions between acoustical and optical branches of dispersion relation. Using {\it wave turbulence} approach, formally derive two coupled kinetic equations, each describing evolution action spectral density associated to branch. An $H$-theorem shows that there exist an irreversible transfer energy leads equilibrium solution...
