摘要
In this work we investigate the one-electron wave-packet dynamics in finite closed chains with relaxational nonlinearity. We found that, besides exhibiting the well-known self-trapping regime at strong coupling, the non-instantaneous character of the nonlinearity favors the self-focusing of the wave-packet at intermediate coupling strengths.
