Abstract: | The nonlinear localized vibrational modes of a one-dimensional atomic chain with two periodically alternating masses and force
constants are analytically investigated using a discrete multiple-scale expansion method. This model simulates a row of atoms
in the <1 1 1>-direction of sphalerite, or zinc blende, crystals. Owing to the structural asymmetry, the vibrational amplitude
is governed by a perturbed nonlinear Schr?dinger equation instead of the standard one found in one-dimensional lattices with
two alternating masses but uniform force constant. Although the stationary localized modes with carrier wavevector at the
Brillouin-zone boundary are similar to those of ionic lattices, the moving localized modes with wavevectors within the zone
are different owing to the perturbation. The calculation shows that the height of the moving localized modes in this lattice
dampens with time.
