Kink dynamics in a novel discrete sine
نویسندگان
چکیده
A spatially-discrete sine-Gordon system with some novel features is described. There is a topological or Bogomol'nyi lower bound on the energy of a kink, and an explicit static kink which saturates this bound. There is no Peierls potential barrier, and consequently the motion of a kink is simpler, especially at low speeds. At higher speeds, it radiates and slows down.

متن کاملM ay 2 00 6 Kinks in dipole chains
It is shown that the topological discrete sine-Gordon system introduced by Speight and Ward models the dynamics of an infinite uniform chain of electric dipoles constrained to rotate in a plane containing the chain. Such a chain admits a novel type of static kink solution which may occupy any position relative to the spatial lattice and experiences no Peierls-Nabarro barrier. Consequently the d...

متن کامل0 Dynamics of lattice kinks
We consider a class of Hamiltonian nonlinear wave equations governing a field defined on a spatially discrete one dimensional lattice, with discreteness parameter, d = h −1 , where h > 0 is the lattice spacing. The specific cases we consider in detail are the discrete sine-Gordon (SG) and discrete φ 4 models. For finite d and in the continuum limit (d → ∞) these equations have static kink-like ...
متن کاملQuasiclassical quantisation and radiative decay of sine - Gordon solitons pinned by a micro - inhomogeneity
Dynamics of a sine-Gordon kink and small-amplitude breather bound on an attractive localised inhomogeneity are studied. The rates of energy emission from the kink oscillating near the inhomogeneity and from a quiescent breather performing internal oscillations are calculated. In the semiclassical approximation, discrete quantised energy spectra for the solitons of both types are found, with reg...
