Order reconstruction patterns in nematic liquid crystal wells
Samo Kralj, A Majumdar
Sep 01, 2014
We numerically study structural transitions inside shallow sub-micrometre scale wells with square cross section, filled with nematic liquid crystal material. We model the wells within the Landau–de Gennes theory. We obtain two...

Heteroclinic travelling waves for the lattice sine-Gordon equation with linear pair interaction
C F Kreiner, J Zimmer
Nov 01, 2009
The existence of travelling heteroclinic waves for the sine-Gordon lattice is proved for a linear interaction of neighbouring atoms. The asymptotic states are chosen such that the action functional is finite. The proof relies on...

Exchange interactions in Cd1-xMnxTe wide quantum wells
The exchange interactions between excitons and manganese ions in wide (80 nm) quantum wells of Cd1−xMnxTe (x≈0.0015 and x≈0.00027) have been measured for states with center of mass quantum numbers up to 10. The corresponding...

Sine-Gordon on a wormhole
In an attempt to understand the soliton resolution conjecture, we consider the Sine-Gordon equation on a spherically symmetric wormhole spacetime. We show that within each topological sector (indexed by a positive integer degree...

Inversion asymmetry effects in modulation-doped Cd1-xMnxTe quantum wells
We report a striking in-plane anisotropy of the spin-flip Raman signals observed for dilute magnetic Cd1-xMnxTe quantum wells containing a two-dimensional electron gas. The effect depends upon electron concentration, which can...

Travelling wave solutions for the discrete sine-Gordon equation with nonlinear pair interaction
C F Kreiner, J Zimmer
Jan 01, 0001
The focus of study is the nonlinear discrete sine-Gordon equation, where the nonlinearity refers to a nonlinear interaction of neighbouring atoms. The existence of travelling heteroclinic, homoclinic and periodic waves is shown....

Log‐Sobolev Inequality for the Continuum Sine‐Gordon Model
We derive a multiscale generalisation of the Bakry‐Émery criterion for a measure to satisfy a log‐Sobolev inequality. Our criterion relies on the control of an associated PDE well‐known in renormalisation theory: the Polchinski...
