In this work we study the presence of kinks in models described by two real scalar fields in bi-dimensional space-time. We generate new two-field models, constructed from distinct but important one-field models, and we solve them with…
The resonant interaction of the $\phi^4$ kink with a periodic $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric perturbation is observed in the frame of the continuum model and with the help of a two degree of freedom collective variable model derived in PRA 89,…
The kink Casimir effect in the massive non-linear $S^3$-sigma model is analyzed.
We study the asymptotic properties of kinks in connection with the deformation procedure. We show that, upon deformation of the field-theoretic model, the asymptotics of kinks can change or remain unchanged, depending on the properties of…
An equation for the quasi-static soliton ansatz depending on an arbitrary set of collective variables is covariantly derived on the basis of the variational approach to the method of collective variables. The field configuration and the…
We present low-temperature magnetoconductance measurements on Bi$_{1.5}$Sb$_{0.5}$Te$_{1.8}$Se$_{1.2}$ kinks with ribbon-shaped legs. The conductance displays a clear dependence on the in-plane magnetic field orientation. The conductance…
Analysis is given of the changes of dislocation motion modes with stress and temperature variation. Different regimes of dislocation kink pair formation and spreading (motion in the random potential, in the field of random forces, the…
We present a model of two-kinks resulting from an explicit composition of two standards kinks of the $\phi^4$ model based on the procedure of Ref. \cite{uchiyama}. The two-kinks have an additional parameter accounting for the separation of…
We investigate dynamics of a self-propelled deformable particle under external field in two dimensions based on the model equations for the center of mass and a tensor variable characterizing deformations. We consider two kinds of external…
We study simultaneous collisions of two, three, and four kinks and antikinks of the $\phi^6$ model at the same spatial point. Unlike the $\phi^4$ kinks, the $\phi^6$ kinks are asymmetric and this enriches the variety of the collision…
When a soft elastic cylinder is bent beyond a critical radius of curvature, a sharp fold in the form of a kink appears at its inner side while the outer side remains smooth. The critical radius increases linearly with the diameter of the…
For S=1 system with general isotropic nearest-neighbor exchange, we derive the low-energy description of the spin nematic phase in terms of the RP^{2} nonlinear sigma-model. In one dimension, quantum fluctuations destroy long-range nematic…
In this Letter, we address the {long-range interaction} between kinks and antikinks, as well as kinks and kinks, in $\varphi^{2n+4}$ field theories for $n>1$. The kink-antikink interaction is generically attractive, while the kink-kink…
The Casimir energy of quantum fluctuations about the classical kink configuration is computed numerically for a recently proposed lattice sine-Gordon model. This energy depends periodically on the kink position and is found to be…
Dynamics of sine-Gordon kinks in the presence of rapidly varying periodic perturbations of different physical origins is described analytically and numerically. The analytical approach is based on asymptotic expansions, and it allows to…
We consider the dynamics of the domain-wall kink soliton, in particular we study the zero mode of translation. In the infinitely-thin kink limit, we show that the zero mode is almost completely frozen out, the only remnant being a…
We look for long-living topological solutions of classical nonlinear $(1+1)-$ dimensional $\varphi^4$ field theory. To that effect we use the well-known cut-and-match method. In this framework, new long-living states are obtained in both…
The behavior of the kink in the sine-Gordon (sG) model in the presence of periodic inhomogeneity is studied. An ansatz is proposed that allows for the construction of a reliable effective model with two degrees of freedom. Effective models…
This work deals with models described by three real scalar fields in one spatial dimension. We study the case where two of the three fields engender kinematical modifications, which respond as geometrical constrictions, that can be used to…
Many kink solutions enjoy internal excitations, called shape modes. In some 1+1d scalar models, such as the $\phi^4$ double-well model, when a kink's shape mode is excited twice it may decay to a ground state kink plus a meson. We…
