Chiral solitons in a non-linear model of helical molecules

Exactly Solvable and Integrable Systems 2018-02-14 v1

Abstract

In this paper an effective integrable non-linear model describing the electron spin dynamics in a deformable helical molecule with weak spin-orbit coupling is presented. Non-linearity arises from the electron-lattice interaction and it enables the formation of a variety of stable solitons such as bright solitons, breathers and rogue waves, all of them presenting well defined spin projection onto the molecule axis. A thorough study of the soliton solutions is presented and discussed.
