Structural investigations of the ion irradiated polycrystalline NiFe/FeMn exchange bias bilayer system were carried out by means of transmission electron microscopy. Key structural parameters like average grain size, lattice constant, and texture, as well as their dependence upon ion irradiation...

In the dissipative, driven standard Frenkel-Kontorova model propagating breathers exist as attractors of the dynamics. In collisions, these excitations interact through the phonons they emit. A possible result of a two-breather collision is a bound state of two breathers. After looking at...

We are interested in the thermal diffusion of a solitary wave in the anisotropic Heisenberg spin chain (HSC) with nearest-neighbor exchange interactions. The shape of the solitary wave is approximated by soliton solutions of the continuum HSC with on-site anisotropy, restricting ourselves to...
