We demonstrate theoretically and experimentally the spontaneous clustering of solitons in partially coherent wavefronts during the final stages of pattern formation initiated by modulation instability and noise.

Dark gap solitons in bichromatic optical superlattices under cubic-quintic nonlinearities.

We demonstrate the existence of two types of dark gap solitary waves-the dark gap solitons and the dark gap soliton clusters-in Bose-Einstein condensates trapped in a bichromatic optical superlattice with cubic-quintic nonlinearities. The background of these dark soliton families is different from the one in a common monochromatic linear lattice; namely, the background in our model is composed of two types of Gaussian-like pulses, whereas in the monochromatic linear lattice, it is composed of only one type of Gaussian-like pulses. Such a special background of dark soliton families is convenient for the manipulation of solitons by the parameters of bichromatic and chemical potentials.

The relations among solitons parameters, diffraction indices, and the degree of nonlocality are derived analytically with the Lagrangian method. Stable elliptic HG soliton clusters can be obtained when linear diffraction is anisotropic.

Article Synopsis
- * The hexagonal skyrmion configuration transforms into a rhombic structure before arriving at a square arrangement, facilitated by the dynamics of merons and anti-merons at the skyrmion boundaries.
- * I also investigate the role of domain-wall merons in the dynamics of square skyrmion lattices, examining spin-wave modes and their response to AC magnetic fields, revealing distinct rotation and annihilation patterns in merons at different frequencies.
Real-space visualization of a defect-mediated charge density wave transition.

We study the coupled charge density wave (CDW) and insulator-to-metal transitions in the 2D quantum material 1T-TaS. By applying in situ cryogenic 4D scanning transmission electron microscopy with in situ electrical resistance measurements, we directly visualize the CDW transition and establish that the transition is mediated by basal dislocations (stacking solitons). We find that dislocations can both nucleate and pin the transition and locally alter the transition temperature by nearly ~75 K.

Article Synopsis
- Active fluids can create stable traveling bands that lead to unique transport behaviors and currents.
- These bands produce a particle current that moves in a direction perpendicular to the band’s movement, similar to the Hall effect.
- The study demonstrates that these bands transition to synchronized states under certain conditions and can be explained using a basic hydrodynamic theory that relates to soliton solutions.
