We solved the Frenkel-Kontorova model with the potential $V(u)= -frac{1}{2} |lambda|(u-{rm Int}[u]-frac{1}{2})^2$ exactly. For given $|lambda|$, there exists a positive integer $q_c$ such that for almost all values of the tensile force $sigma$, the winding number $omega$ of the ground state configuration is a rational number in the $q_c$-th level Farey tree. For fixed $omega=p/q$, there is a critical $lambda_c$ when a first order phase transition occurs. This phase transition can be understood as the dissociation of a large molecule into two smaller ones in a manner dictated by the Farey tree. A kind of ``commensurate-incommensurate transition occurs at critical values of $sigma$ when two sizes of molecules co-exist. ``Soliton in the usual sense does not exist but induces a transformation of one size of molecules into the other.
A 1D model of interacting particles moving over a periodic substrate and in a position dependent temperature profile is considered. When the substrate and the temperature profile are spatially asymmetric a center-of-mass velocity develops, correspond
A two-dimensional Frenkel-Kontorova model is set up. Its application to the tribology is considered. The materials and the commensurability between two layers strongly affect the static friction force. It is found that the static friction force is la
Simple models for friction are typically one-dimensional, but real interfaces are two-dimensional. We investigate the effects of the second dimension on static and dynamic friction by using the Frenkel-Kontorova (FK) model. We study the two most stra
By means of atomistic simulations, we demonstrate that a dislocation core exhibits intermittent quasistatic restructuring during incremental shear within the same Peierls valley. This can be regarded as a stick-slip transition, which is also reproduc
The Frenkel-Kontorova chain with a free end is used to study initiation and propagation of crowdions (anti-kinks) caused by impact of a molecule consisting of K atoms. It is found that molecules with 1 < K < 10 are more efficient in initiation of cro
