We present a dynamical picture of kink-anti-kink scattering in a pair of special, Frankensteinian potentials made of piece-wise quadratic and linear pieces. Specifically, we focus on models that support kinks without skin and core regions.…

The elastic interaction between kinks (and antikinks) within domain walls plays a pivotal role in shaping the domain structure, and their dynamics. In bulk materials, kinks interact as elastic monopoles, dependent on the distance between…

In the present study the interaction of a sine-Gordon kink with a localized inhomogeneity is considered. In the absence of dissipation, the inhomogeneity considered is found to impose a potential energy barrier. The motion of the kink for…
