Quasiclassical quantisation and radiative decay of sine - Gordon solitons pinned by a micro - inhomogeneity
نویسنده
چکیده
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 regard to field-theory corrections to a kink’s particle-like spectrum and to strong distortion of the breather’s shape. The rates of radiative energy emission are interpreted as finite widths of the quantised quasiclassical energy levels. Oscillations of the breather as a whole near the inhomogeneity are also considered.

Radiative and Inelastic Effects in Dynamics of Double Sine-gordon Solitons
The dynamics ofthe so-called wobblers, i.e. 4it-kinks ofthe double sine-Gordon equation with excited internal oscillations, is studied. The rate of energy emission from a weakly excited wobbler is calculated. Then scattering of a wobbler by a localized inhomogeneity is considered and it is demonstrated that in the first approximation it results in the change ofthe wobbler’s velocity only if the...
متن کاملBubblelike structures generated by activation of internal shape modes in two-dimensional sine-Gordon line solitons.
Nonlinear waves that collide with localized defects exhibit complex behavior. Apart from reflection, transmission, and annihilation of an incident wave, a local inhomogeneity can activate internal modes of solitons, producing many impressive phenomena. In this work we investigate a two-dimensional sine-Gordon model perturbed by a family of localized forces. We observed the formation of bubbleli...
متن کاملPinned fluxons in a Josephson junction with a finite-length inhomogeneity∗
We consider a Josephson junction system installed with a finite length inhomogeneity, either of microresistor or of microresonator type. The system can be modelled by a sine-Gordon equation with a piecewise-constant function to represent the varying Josephson tunneling critical current. The existence of pinned fluxons depends on the length of the inhomogeneity, the variation in the Josephson tu...
متن کاملPerturbation theory for localized solutions of sine-Gordon equation: decay of a breather and pinning by microresistor
We develop a perturbation theory that describes bound states of solitons localized in a confined area. External forces and influence of inhomogeneities are taken into account as perturbations to exact solutions of the sine-Gordon equation. We have investigated two special cases of fluxon trapped by a microresistor and decay of a breather under dissipation. Also, we have carried out numerical si...
متن کاملHow to excite the internal modes of sine-Gordon solitons
We investigate the dynamics of the sine-Gordon solitons perturbed by spatiotemporal external forces. We prove the existence of internal (shape) modes of sine-Gordon solitons when they are in the presence of inhomogeneous space-dependent external forces, provided some conditions (for these forces) hold. Additional periodic timedependent forces can sustain oscillations of the soliton width. We sh...
