Domain walls in the spin S quantum Ising chain at zero temperature are considered. Quantum effects prevent the walls from being sharp and delocalize the exact eigenstates. The absence of a characteristic length of the domain walls is…

We report studies of the behaviour of a single driven domain wall in the 2-dimensional non-equilibrium zero temperature random-field Ising model, closely above the depinning threshold. It is found that even for very weak disorder, the…

We study domain-wall excitations in two-dimensional random-bond Ising spin systems on a square lattice with side length L, subject to two different continuous disorder distributions. In both cases an adjustable parameter allows to tune the…
We show that the dynamics of an Ising spin chain in a transverse field conserves the number of domains (strings of down spins in an up-spin background) at discrete times. This enables the determination of the eigenfunctions of the…
A domain wall separating two oppositely magnetized regions in a ferromagnetic semiconductor exhibits, under appropriate conditions, strongly nonlinear I-V characteristics similar to those of a p-n diode. We study these characteristics as…
We investigate magnetic domain walls in a single fcc Mn layer on Re(0001) employing spin-polarized STM, atom manipulation, and spin dynamics simulations. The low symmetry of the row-wise antiferromagnetic (1Q) state leads to a new type of…
In a general (2+1)-dimensional scalar model, we consider the scattering of a single quantum of radiation off a domain wall string, which excites or de-excites the wall's internal shape mode. We refer to these two process as Stokes and…
We study spin textures in a quantum Hall Ising ferromagnet. Domain walls between ferro and unpolarized states at $\nu=2$ are analyzed with a functional theory supported by a microscopic calculation. In a neutral wall, Hartree repulsion…
The nature of the zero temperature ordering transition in the 3D Gaussian random field Ising magnet is studied numerically, aided by scaling analyses. In the ferromagnetic phase the scaling of the roughness of the domain walls, $w\sim…

Conventional magnetic domain walls are characterized by reorientation of local spins. However, what occurs at the boundary of itinerant magnets is largely unknown. Here using spin-sensitive scanning tunneling microscopy, we investigated the…
