The nonlinear dynamical equations, which describe the torsion oscillations of the nparaffin
(alkanes) crystal have been derived in the framework of the coarse-grain model. The
essentially nonlinear discrete equations reflect the influence of the internal multi-well
conformation potential of the paraffin chain as well as the symmetry of the molecular field of
the chain environment at the arbitrary large oscillation amplitudes.
Keywords: n-paraffin; torsion oscillations; nonlinear dynamics; coarse-grain model. |
