Spin waves and phase transition on a magnetically frustrated square lattice with long-range interactions

We investigate the effects of long-range interactions on the spin wave spectra and the competition between magnetic phases on a frustrated square lattice with large spin S. Applying the spin wave theory and assisted with symmetry analysis, we obtain analytical expressions for spin wave spectra of competing Neel and (π, 0) stripe states of systems containing any-order long-range interactions. In the specific case of long-range interactions with power-law decay, we find surprisingly that the staggered long-range interaction suppresses quantum fluctuation and enlarges the ordered moment, especially in the Neel state, and thus extends its phase boundary to the stripe state. Our findings illustrate the rich possibilities of the roles of long-range interactions, and advocate future investigations in other magnetic systems with different structures of interactions.

Effective interactions between two impurities in quasi-two-dimensional dipolar Bose–Einstein condensates

We investigate the effective interaction between two heavy impurities immersed in a quasi-twodimensional dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate via a variation approach. We show that the mediated interaction is highly tunable via the contact and the dipole-dipole interactions between the background gas atoms. Interestingly, the mediated interaction potential may become an oscillating function of inter-impurity distance when roton excitation emerges under sufficiently strong dipolar interaction. Our system therefore provides an efficient way for tuning the mediated interaction between impurities.     

Thermodynamics of a model wih interacting annealed bond impurities on the Bethe lattice

A magnetic model is considered consisting of annealed, mutually repelling ferromagnetic bond impurities in an antiferromagnetic host lattice. Using recurrence relation techniques, the grand-canonical version of this model is solved on the three-coordinated Bethe lattice. A generic phase diagram is obtained containing, apart from the usual ferro- and antiferromagnetic regimes, two distinct incommensurate phases as well as a period-four modulated phase. Evidence is obtained that in one of the two incommensurate phases impurity pairing occurs.     

Allowable propagation of short pulse laser beam in a plasma channel and electromagnetic solitary waves

Nonparaxial and nonlinear propagation of a short intense laser beam in a parabolic plasma channel is analyzed by means of the variational method and nonlinear dynamics. The beam propagation properties are classified by five kinds of behaviors. In particularly, the electromagnetic solitary wave for finite pulse laser is found beside the other four propagation cases including beam periodically oscillating with defocussing and focusing amplitude, constant spot size, beam catastrophic focusing. It is also found that the laser pulse can be allowed to propagate in the plasma channel only when a certain relation for laser parameters and plasma channel parameters is satisfied. For the solitary wave, it may provide an effective way to obtain ultra-short laser pulse.     

Multi-valued solitary waves in multidimensional soliton systems

Considering that folded phenomena are rather universal in nature and some arbitrary functions can be included in the exact excitations of many (2+1)-dimensional soliton systems, we use adequate multivalued functions to construct folded solitary structures in multi-dimensions. Based on some interesting variable separation results in the literature, a common formula with arbitrary functions has been derived for suitable physical quantities of some significant (2+1)-dimensional soliton systems like the generalized Ablowitz－Kaup－Newell－Segur (GAKNS) model, the generalized Nizhnik－Novikov－Veselov (GNNV) system and the new (2+1)-dimensional long dispersive wave (NLDW) system. Then a new special type of two-dimensional solitary wave structure, i.e. the folded solitary wave and foldon, is obtained. The novel structure exhibits interesting features not found in the single valued solitary excitations.     

Propagation and interaction of ion-acoustic solitary waves in a quantum electron-positron-ion plasma

This paper discusses the existence of ion-acoustic solitary waves and their interaction in a dense quantum electron-positron-ion plasma by using the quantum hydrodynamic equations.The extended Poincar’e-Lighthill-Kuo perturbation method is used to derive the Korteweg-de Vries equations for quantum ion-acoustic solitary waves in this plasma.The effects of the ratio of positrons to ions unperturbation number density p and the quantum diffraction parameter H e (H p) on the newly formed wave during interaction,and the phase shift of the colliding solitary waves are studied.It is found that the interaction between two solitary waves fits linear superposition principle and these plasma parameters have significantly influence on the newly formed wave and phase shift of the colliding solitary waves.The investigations should be useful for understanding the propagation and interaction of ion-acoustic solitary waves in dense astrophysical plasmas (such as white dwarfs) as well as in intense laser-solid matter interaction experiments.     

孤立波在一维复合颗粒链中传播特性的模拟研究

采用分子动力学方法模拟研究了孤立波在重轻颗粒相间排列的一维复合颗粒链中的传播特性.结果发现,在轻重颗粒的质量比较大或较小时,散射作用较弱,颗粒的速度和孤立波的速度衰减较慢.在轻重颗粒的质量比为中等时,散射作用较强,颗粒的速度和孤立波的速度衰减较快.孤立波在通过重-轻颗粒界面时,存在有增速效应,可以提高孤立波的传播速度.并且,轻重颗粒的质量比越小增速效应越强.在散射作用和增速效应的共同作用下,改变轻重颗粒的质量比可以调控孤立波在重-轻颗粒链中的传播时间.     

Bifurcation and solitary waves of the nonlinear wave equation with quartic polynomial potential

For the nonlinear wave equation with quartic polynomial potential, bifurcation and solitary waves are investigated. Based on the bifurcation and the energy integral of the two-dimensional dynamical system satisfied by the travelling waves, it is very interesting to find different sufficient and necessary conditions in terms of the bifurcation parameter for the existence and coexistence of bright, dark solitary waves and shock waves. The method of direct integration is developed to give all types of solitary wave solutions. Our method is simpler than other newly developed ones. Some results are similar to those obtained recently for the combined KdV－mKdV equation.     

Exact self-similar solitary waves and collisions in nonlinear optical media

This paper analyses bright and dark spatial self-similar waves propagation and collision in graded-index nonlinear waveguide amplifiers with self-focusing and self-defocusing Kerr nonlinearities. It finds an appropriate transformation for the first time such that the nonlinear Schrodinger equation （NLSE） with varying coefficients transform into standard NLSE. It obtains one-solitonlike, two-solitonlike and multi-solitonlike self-similar wave solutions by using the transformation. Furthermore, it analyses the features of the self-similar waves and their collisions.     

Propagation of solitary waves in channels of decreasing depth

The changes which occur in a right-going solitary wave as it travels a channel of decreasing depth are discussed. In addition to the changes in the solitary wave, we have found through a judicious use of the conservation laws two secondary structures (a shelf and a reflection). Each of these structures is small with respect to the solitary wave, though the mass flux associated with each is of the same order as that of the solitary wave. Of interest is that the amplitude of the reflected wave does not satisfy Green's law. But rather, the amplitude of the reflected wave is constant along left-going characteristics. This finding allows us to satisfy the mass flux conservation laws to leading order and establishes the perturbed Korteweg-deVries equation as a consistent approximation for the right-going profile.     

The propagation of solitary waves in clouds of Bose--Einstein condensed atoms

The Gross--Pitaevskii equation which describes the motion of a Bose--Einstein condensed (BEC) atom in an elongated trap is solved analytically, and a solitary-wave solution is obtained in the low-density case without neglecting the effect of the interatomic interaction on the transverse function. It is shown that this effect leads to the velocity of the solitary wave slowing down and the profile of the solitary wave widening.

On the study of ion-acoustic solitary waves and double-layers in a drift multicomponent plasma with electron-inertia

Using the pseudopotential method, theoretical investigation has been made on the firstorder Korteweg-deVries ion-acoustic solitons in a multicomponent plasma consisting of warm positive ions, negative ions and isothermal electrons. The effects of electron-inertia and drift motion of the ions on the amplitudes and widths of the solitons have been studied in a plasma having (H⁺, Cl⁻), (H⁺, O⁻), (He⁺, H⁻) and (He⁺, O⁻) ions. Ion-acoustic double-layers have also been investigated for such plasmas. It has been found that drift velocity and electron-inertia have significant contribution on the formation of double-layers in multicomponent plasma

Envelope solitary waves on two-dimensional lattices with in-plane displacements

We investigate envelope solitary waves on square lattices with two degrees of freedom and nonlinear nearest and next-nearest neighbor interactions. We consider solitary waves which are localized in the direction of their motion and periodically modulated along the perpendicular direction. In the quasi-monochromatic approximation and low-amplitude limit a system of two coupled nonlinear Schr?dinger equations (CNLS) is obtained for the envelopes of the longitudinal and transversal displacements. For the case of bright envelope solitary waves the solvability condition is discussed, also with respect to the modulation. The stability of two special solution classes (type-I and type-II) of the CNLS equations is tested by molecular dynamics simulations. The shape of type-I solitary waves does not change during propagation, whereas the width of type-II excitations oscillates in time.

Binary collision approximation for solitary waves in a Y-shaped granular chain

We implement a binary collision approximation to study solitary wave propagation in a two-dimensional double Y-shaped granular chain. The solitary wave was transmitted and reflected when it met the interface of the bifurcated branches of the Y-shaped granular chains. We obtain the analytic results of the ratios of the transmitted and reflected speeds to the incident speed of the solitary wave, the maximum force between the two neighbor beads in a solitary wave, and the total time taken by the pulse to pass through each branch. All of the analytic results are in good agreement with the experimental observations from Daraio et al. [Phys. Rev. E 82 036603 (2010)]. Moreover, we also discuss the delay effects on the arrival of split pulses, and predict the recombination of the split waves traveling in branches in the final stem of asymmetric systems. The prediction of pulse recombination is verified by our numerical results.     

Density waves in a lattice hydrodynamic traffic flow model with the anticipation effect

By introducing the traffic anticipation effect in the real world into the original lattice hydrodynamic model, we present a new anticipation effect lattice hydrodynamic (AELH) model, and obtain the linear stability condition of the model by applying the linear stability theory. Through nonlinear analysis, we derive the Burgers equation and Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation, to describe the propagating behaviour of traffic density waves in the stable and the metastable regions, respectively. The good agreement between simulation results and analytical results shows that the stability of traffic flow can be enhanced when the anticipation effect is considered.
