THE ANISOTROPIC CHARACTERS IN TWO-DIMENSIONAL LATTICE
The anisotropic characters of simple cubic lattice are investigated in this paper. Both the linear and nonlinear wave propagating in this lattice have been studied. The dispersion relation has been studied numerically. It is shown that the dispersion relation strongly depends on the directions of wave propagation. Generally, the direction of waves has the inclination angle α with respect to particle displacement. There are compressional waves α = 0 or transverse waves α = π/2 only for some special cases. The nonlinear waves in this lattice have also been studied. The anisotropic characters of this lattice for the nonlinear waves have also been shown. The compressional and transverse nonlinear solitons have also been studied. The characters of both solitons, such as amplitude and width, have been investigated.
