In field theory the scattering about spatially extended objects, such as solitons, is commonly described by small amplitude fluctuations. Since soliton configurations often break internal symmetries, excitations exist that arise from…

The scissors mode, a magnetic dipole excitation-mainly orbital is usually discussed in terms of a transition from a J=0^{+} ground state to a J=1^{+} excited state. This is understandable because it follows from the way the experiment is…

Experiments show several steps in hysteresis loops of high spin nanocluster $Fe_8$. It is thought that these steps are due to thermally assisted resonant tunneling between different quanta spin states. Up to now, in calculatiing it, only…

Mean field approximation treats only coherent aspects of the evolution of a Bose Einstein condensate. However, in many experiments some atoms scatter out of the condensate. We study an analytic model of two counter-propagating atomic…
