Dark discrete breather modes in a monoaxial chiral helimagnet with easy-plane anisotropy

IG Bostrem, EG Ekomasov, J Kishine, AS Ovchinnikov… - Physical Review B, 2021 - APS
Nonlinearity and discreteness are two pivotal factors for an emergence of discrete breather
excitations in various media. We argue that these requirements are met in the forced …

Pterobreathers in a model for a layered crystal with realistic potentials: Exact moving breathers in a moving frame
