摘要
A vacancy defect is described by a Frenkel-Kontorova model with a discommensuration. This vacancy can migrate when interacts with a moving breather. We establish that the width of the interaction potential must be larger than a threshold value in order that the vacancy can move for-ward. This value is related to the existence of a breather centred at the particles adjacent to the vacancy. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
