We invite you to read the research paper on Self-organization and nanocluster formation processes in non-linear molecular chains. The aim of this work was to investigate the self-assembly processes in molecular chains.
A computer simulation study using the molecular dynamics method was performed. Morse potential was chosen as the potential of atomic interaction. Molecular chains were influenced by the interaction of low-energy ions in two ways: through the action of a single beam and plasma.

The amount of energy transferred to the chain molecules varied widely, but had to be less than the energy needed to break the chain.
It has been shown that as a result of the influence of low-energy ions, nonlinear oscillations are induced in the chains, as a result of which the molecules stabilize in new positions, which causes the formation and development of new metastable molecular groups (nanoclusters). In homogeneous chains, the formed nanoclusters correspond to the elements
"Molecular memory".
