Journal Article
Brizhik, L., Eremko, A., Piette, B., & Zakrzewski, W. (2007). Adiabatic self-trapped states in carbon nanotubes. Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 19(30), https://doi.org/10.1088/0953-8984/19/30/306205

We study the polaron (soliton) states of a quasiparticle (electron, hole, exciton) in a quasi-one-dimensional (quasi-1D) model which describes a carbon-type zigzag nanotube structure. In the Hamiltonian of the system we include the electron–phonon in... Read More about Adiabatic self-trapped states in carbon nanotubes.

Scattering of Sine-Gordon kinks on potential wells (2007)
Journal Article
Piette, B., & Zakrzewski, W. (2007). Scattering of Sine-Gordon kinks on potential wells. Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical, 40(22), 5995-6010. https://doi.org/10.1088/1751-8113/40/22/016

We study the scattering properties of sine-Gordon kinks on obstructions in the form of finite size potential 'wells'. We model this by making the coefficient of the cos(phiv) − 1 term in the Lagrangian position dependent. We show that when the kinks...

Towards Skyrmion Stars: Large Baryon Configurations in the Einstein-Skyrme Model (2007)
Journal Article
Piette, B., & Probert, G. (2007). Towards Skyrmion Stars: Large Baryon Configurations in the Einstein-Skyrme Model. Physical Review D, 75, https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevd.75.125023

We investigate the large baryon number sector of the Einstein-Skyrme model as a possible model for baryon stars. Gravitating hedgehog skyrmions have been investigated previously and the existence of stable solitonic stars excluded due to energy consi...

Self-trapped electron states in carbon nanotubes (2007)
Journal Article
Bratek, L., Brizhik, L., Eremko, A., Piette, B., Watson, M., & Zakrzewski, W. (2007). Self-trapped electron states in carbon nanotubes. Physica D: Nonlinear Phenomena, 228(2), 130-139. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.physd.2007.02.013

We study numerically self-trapped (polaron) states of quasiparticles (electrons or holes) in a deformable nanotube formed by a hexagonal lattice, wrapped into a cylinder (carbon- and boron nitride-type nanotube structures). We present a Hamiltonian f... Read More about Self-trapped electron states in carbon nanotubes.

Dynamical properties of a Soliton in a Potential Well (2007)
Journal Article
Piette, B., & Zakrzewski, W. (2007). Dynamical properties of a Soliton in a Potential Well. Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical, 40(2), 329-346. https://doi.org/10.1088/1751-8113/40/2/011

We analyse the scattering of a two-dimensional soliton on a potential well. We show that this soliton can pass through the well, bounce back or become trapped and we study the dependence of the critical velocity on the width and the depth of the well...
