The decay rate for a particle in a metastable cubic potential is investigated in the quantum regime by the Euclidean path integral method in semiclassical approximation. The imaginary time formalism allows one to monitor the system as a function of temperature. The family of classical paths,...

Two-dimensional stability of a controlled Bose-Einstein condensation state, in the form of a nonlinear Schrödinger soliton [JETP Lett. <Emphasis Type="Bold">80 535 (2004)], is studied for the condensations with both repulsive and attractive inter-atom interactions. The Gross-Pitaevski equation is solved numerically,...</emphasis>

Currently, the variable-coefficient nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS)-typed models have attracted considerable attention in such fields as plasma physics, nonlinear optics, arterial mechanics and Bose-Einstein condensates. Motivated by the recent work of Tian et al. [Eur. Phys. J. B <Emphasis Type="Bold">47, 329 (2005)],...</emphasis>

Fluxon transmission through several impurities of different strength and type (i.e., microshorts and microresistors), placed in a long Josephson junction is investigated. Retrapping current on the impurities is computed as a function of the distance between them, their amplitudes and the...
