Research area:

The theory of nonlinear phenomena in condensed matter physics based on the soliton concept and its applications for description of nonlinear effects in solids.

Main achievements are the following:

  • Finding the exact multisoliton solutions of the Landau-Lifshitz equation for one-dimensional biaxial ferromagnet,
  • Discovery of the oscillatory instability in soliton dynamics,
  • Theoretical description of formation of multisoliton complexes and their coherent motion in strongly dispersive media,
  • Finding the exact discrete multibreather and periodic solutions in integrable nonlinear lattices,
  • Exact description of localized excitations and spin waves in anisotropic ferro- and antiferromagnets containing domain walls in the presence of a magnetic field.

Last five years activity and current interests:

Subjects of current investigations include dynamical properties of nonlinear excitations in condensed matter, especially soliton interaction and formation of multisoliton complexes in strongly dispersive media, investigation of their stability properties and internal motion, computer simulation of the nonstationary dynamics of soliton complexes; exact theoretical description of spin waves scattering by moving domain walls in anisotropic antiferromagnets in a magnetic field, exact solution of spectral problem for localized excitations in ferromagnetic chains containing spin nanoclusters, theory of the local negative magnetic permeability in nonlinear metamaterials and possibility of observation of breather excitations in such systems; exact description of collision processes of discrete breathers and nonlinear periodic waves in integrable models of anharmonic crystals and nonlinear transmission lines.
