Abstract: | In the three-atomic Frenkel model, the intermediate atom is placed in the middle between the two end atoms, where a potential
energy minimum is localized for small lengths of the straight-line segment; the intermediate atom is shifted from the midpoint
where a potential energy maximum arises toward one of the end atoms as the segment length increases. In the model length-temperature
phase diagram, a region of the first-order phase transitions terminated by a critical point lying on the length axis is observed.
In the present paper, the three-atomic model with dissimilar end atoms is considered. In this case (for example, in the absence
of attraction to one of the end atoms), the potential energy can have only one minimum, and the first-order transitions are
absent. According to dynamic theory, the calculated behavior of the middle atom that depends on the temperature for the constant
length demonstrates the phenomenon of supercritical transition connected, according to V. K. Semenchenko, with a passage of
the stability determinant through a minimum without stability loss. If the force applied to the end atoms is set rather then
the model length, equations are solved for the displacement of atoms, rms oscillation amplitude, and deformation by means
of expansion in a series in the anharmonicity coefficients, and the result obtained demonstrates a linear temperature dependence
of the coefficient of elasticity.
