We carry out a numerical simulation of a domain-wall model in (4+1) dimensions, in the presence of a quenched U(1) dynamical gauge field only in an extra dimension, corresponding to the weak coupling limit of a (4-dimensional) physical…

Excitation and propagation of spin waves inside magnetic domain walls has received attention because of their potentials in spintronic and communication applications. Besides wave amplitude and frequency, spin-wave has its third character:…
The inverse of the fermion matrix squared is used to define a transfer matrix for domain-wall fermions. When the domain-wall height $M$ is bigger than one, the transfer matrix is complex. Slowly suppressed chiral symmetry violations may…

As a collective quasiparticle excitation of the magnetic order in magnetic materials, spin wave, or magnon when quantized, can propagate in both conducting and insulating materials. Like the manipulation of its optical counterpart, the…

Domain walls with non-Abelian orientational moduli are constructed in U(N) gauge theories coupled to Higgs scalar fields with degenerate masses. The associated global symmetry is broken by the domain walls, resulting in the Nambu-Goldstone…

We consider the Grand Unified SU(5) model with a small or vanishing cubic term in the adjoint scalar field in the potential. This gives the model an approximate or exact Z$_2$ symmetry whose breaking leads to domain walls. The simplest…
Domain walls are the topological defects that mediate polarization reversal in ferroelectrics, and they may exhibit quite different geometric and electronic structures compared to the bulk. Therefore, a detailed atomic-scale understanding…
The effect of magnetic domain boundaries displacement induced by electric field is observed in epitaxial ferrite garnet films (on substrates with the (210) crystallographic orientation). The effect is odd with respect to the electric field…
