Static skyrmions in (2+1) dimensions

چکیده
In the spirit of previous papers, but using more general field configurations, the non-linear O(3) model in (2+1)-D, modified by the addition of both a potential-like term and a Skyrme-like term, is considered. The instanton solutions are numerically evolved in time and some of their stability properties studied. They are found to be stable, and a repulsive force is seen to exist among them. These results, which are restricted to the case of zero-speed systems, confirm those obtained in previous investigations, in which a similar problem was studied for a different choice of the potential-like term.

Skyrmions and domain walls in ( 2 + 1 ) dimensions
We study classical solutions of the vector O(3) sigma model in (2 + 1) dimensions, spontaneously broken to O(2) × Z2. The model possesses Skyrmion-type solutions as well as stable domain walls which connect different vacua. We show that different types of waves can propagate on the wall, including waves carrying a topological charge. The domain wall can also absorb Skyrmions and, under appropri...
متن کاملCurrent-driven dynamics of skyrmions stabilized in MnSi nanowires revealed by topological Hall effect
Skyrmions hold promise for next-generation magnetic storage as their nanoscale dimensions may enable high information storage density and their low threshold for current-driven motion may enable ultra-low energy consumption. Skyrmion-hosting nanowires not only serve as a natural platform for magnetic racetrack memory devices but also stabilize skyrmions. Here we use the topological Hall effect ...
متن کاملPlanar Skyrmions: Vibrational Modes and Dynamics
We study Skyrmion dynamics in a (2+1)-dimensional Skyrme model. The system contains a dimensionless parameter α, with α = 0 corresponding to the O(3) sigmamodel. If two Skyrmions collide head-on, then they can either coalesce or scatter — this depends on α and on the incident speed v, and is affected by transfer of energy to and from the internal vibrational modes of the Skyrmions. We classify ...
متن کاملThe scattering of a skyrmion configuration on asymmetric holes or barriers in a model Landau-Lifshitz equation
This current work is an extension to work previously done by the authors. The dynamics of a baby skyrmion configuration, in a model Landau-Lifshitz equation, was studied in the presence of various potential obstructions. The baby skyrmion configuration was constructed from two Q = 1 hedgehog solutions to the new baby Skyrme model in (2 + 1) dimensions. The potential obstructions were created by...
متن کاملv 1 2 8 Ju n 20 01 Brane - skyrmions and wrapped states
In the context of a brane world and including an induced curvature term in the brane action, we obtain the effective lagrangian for the Golstone bosons (branons) associated to the spontaneous breaking of the translational invariance in the bulk. In addition to the branons, this effective action has Skyrmion-like solitonic states which can be understood as holes in the brane. We study their main...
