Engineering solitons and breathers in a deformed ferromagnet: Effect of localised inhomogeneities

Publication date: Available online 17 July 2018Source: Physics Letters AAuthor(s): M. Saravanan, A. ArnaudonAbstractWe investigate the soliton dynamics of the electromagnetic wave propagating in an inhomogeneous or deformed ferromagnet. The dynamics of magnetization and the propagation of electromagnetic waves are governed by the Landau–Lifshitz–Maxwell (LLM) equation, a certain coupling between the Landau–Lifshitz and Maxwell's equations. In the framework of multiscale analysis, we obtain the perturbed integral modified KdV (PIMKdV) equation. Since the dynamic is governed by the nonlinear integro-differential equation, we rely on numerical simulations to study the interaction of its mKdV solitons with various types of inhomogeneities. Apart from simple one soliton experiments with periodic or localised inhomogeneities, the numerical simulations revealed an interesting dynamical scenario where the collision of two solitons on a localised inhomogeneity create a bound state which then produces either two separated solitons or a mKdV breather.
