Attraction, merger, reflection, and annihilation in magnetic droplet soliton scattering

چکیده
The interaction behaviors of solitons are defining characteristics of these nonlinear, coherent structures. Due to recent experimental observations, thin ferromagnetic films offer a promising medium in which to study the scattering properties of two-dimensional magnetic droplet solitons, particle-like, precessing dipoles. Here, a rich set of two-droplet interaction behaviors are classified through micromagnetic simulations. Repulsive and attractive interaction dynamics are generically determined by the relative phase and speeds of the two droplets and can be classified into four types: (1) merger into a breather bound state, (2) counterpropagation trapped along the axis of symmetry, (3) reflection, and (4) violent droplet annihilation into spin wave radiation and a breather. Utilizing a nonlinear method of images, it is demonstrated that these dynamics describe repulsive/attractive scattering of a single droplet off of a magnetic boundary with pinned/free spin boundary conditions, respectively. These results explain the mechanism by which propagating and stationary droplets can be stabilized in a confined ferromagnet.

Resonant and Non-resonant Soliton Scattering by Impurities
The NLSE soliton scattering by impurities is considered in the framework of the one-dimensional model. The scattering intensity is characterized by the reflection coefficient. The reflection coefficient of the soliton is calculated in the Born approximation of the perturbation theory for the following cases: (i) and isolated impurity, (ii) two point impurities, and (iii) a regular or random sys...
متن کاملPropagation and control of nanoscale magnetic-droplet solitons
The propagation and controlled manipulation of strongly nonlinear, two-dimensional solitonic states in a thin, anisotropic ferromagnet are theoretically demonstrated. It has been recently proposed that spin-polarized currents in a nanocontact device could be used to nucleate a stationary dissipative droplet soliton. Here, an external magnetic field is introduced to accelerate and control the pr...

متن کاملAnalytical theory of modulated magnetic solitons
Droplet solitons are coherently precessing solitary waves that have been recently realized in thin ferromagnets with perpendicular anisotropy. In the strongly nonlinear regime, droplets can be well approximated by a slowly precessing, circular domain wall with a hyperbolic tangent form. Utilizing this representation, this work develops a general droplet modulation theory and applies it to study...
متن کاملReflecting Magnon Bound States
In N = 4 super Yang-Mills spin chain, we compute reflection amplitudes of magnon bound-state off giant graviton. We first compute the reflection amplitude off Y = 0 brane boundary and compare it with the scattering amplitude between two magnon bound-states in the bulk. We find that analytic structure of the two amplitudes are intimately related each other: the boundary reflection amplitude is a...
