The nanofabrication technology has taught us that an $m$-dimensional confining potential imposed upon an $n$-dimensional electron gas paves the way to a quasi-($n-m$)-dimensional electron gas, with $m \le n$ and $1\le n, m \le 3$. This is…

Solitons are localised wave disturbances that propagate without changing shape, a result of a nonlinear interaction which compensates for wave packet dispersion. Individual solitons may collide, but a defining feature is that they pass…
