The properties of streamers and zonal magnetic structures in magnetic electron drift mode turbulence are investigated. The stability of such large scale structures is investigated in the kinetic and the hydrodynamic regime, for which an instability criteri ...
We present experimental results on the transverse modulation instability of an elliptical beam propagating in a bulk nonlinear Kerr medium, and the formation and self-organization of spatial solitons. We have observed the emergence of order, self organizat ...
We conduct an experimental investigation of nonlinearity management in optics using femtosecond pulses and layered Kerr media consisting of glass and air. By examining the propagation properties over several diffraction lengths, we show that wave collapse ...
The profiles for the water table height h(x, t) in a shallow sloping aquifer are reexamined with a solution of the nonlinear Boussinesq equation. We demonstrate that the previous anomaly first reported by Brutsaert [1994] that the point at which the water ...
The quasi-1D S = 1/2 antiferromagnet CuGeO3 undergoes a spin-Peierls transition to a dimerised singlet quantum ground state, with S = 1 carrying pairs of domain walls as elementary excitations. Applying a large magnetic field, the domain walls-solitons-can ...
The incommensurate magnetic soliton lattice in the high-field phase of a spin-Peierls system results from quantum fluctuations. We have used neutron scattering techniques to study CuGeO3, allowing us to obtain the first complete characterization of the exc ...
Driven by antiferromagnetic quantum fluctuations on a deformable lattice, spin-Peierls systems dimerize magnetically and structurally at low temperatures. In this dimer phase all excitations with non-zero magnetization have a finite energy. The energy gain ...
The Boussinesq equation appears as the zeroth-order term in the shallow water flow expansion of the non-linear equation describing the flow of fluid in an unconfined aquifer. One-dimensional models based on the Boussinesq equation have been used to analyse ...
The study of polarization reversal in (Pb,La)(Zr,Ti)O-3 thin films reveals a drastic difference between the switching kinetics observed at RT and at low temperature of 40 K. In particular, at 40 K, the switching kinetics in studied films is similar to that ...
This article the resolution of a boundary controlled nonlinear partial differential equation with Volterra series. The generalized Burger's equation which is investigated, accounts for the dominant effects of the acoustic propagation in cylindrical ducts i ...
