In a classical, quartic field theory with $SU(N) \times Z_2$ symmetry, a class of kink solutions can be found analytically for one special choice of parameters. We construct these solutions and determine their energies. In the limit $N\to…

The study concerns dynamics of standing spin waves in arrays of sub-100 nm elliptic synthetic-antiferromagnet (SAF) nanodisks. We performed a detailed ferromagnetic resonance analysis in conjunction with micromagnetic modeling to find out…

In this paper, we numerically study the scattering of kinks in the noncanonical sine-Gordon model using Fourier spectral methods. The model depends on two free parameters, which control the localized inner structure in the energy density…
