Mechanics of Ferromagnetic Solitons

Explore the fascinating world of ferromagnetic solitons in this 48-minute lecture by Oleg Tchernyshyov from PCS Institute for Basic Science. Delve into the mechanics of these nonlinear excitations, focusing on topological solitons and their unique stability properties. Discover various types of magnetic solitons, including domain walls, vortices, hedgehogs, and skyrmions, and learn about their potential applications in information storage and processing. Examine surprising and counterintuitive aspects of magnetic soliton mechanics, such as the rotation of domain walls when pushed and their movement when torqued. Gain insights into basic models of magnetic solitons and explore their deep connections to other areas of mechanics.
