Dipolar effects on soliton dynamics on a discrete ferromagnetic chain.

The contributions of dipole-dipole interactions to the dynamics of solitons on a one-dimensional discrete easy-plane Heisenberg ferromagnet, in which the biquadratic exchange interactions are taken into account in addition to the Zeeman energy, the uniaxial anisotropy, and the exchange energy, are studied numerically. The results of a numerical simulation of the dynamics of a single soliton, as well as collision between a soliton-antisoliton pair, indicated that the energy-velocity curves for the solitons in the ferromagnetic chain present the signature of five different branches corresponding to different types of nonlinear elementary excitations in the chain.
