Hamiltonian description and stability of magnetic electron vortices

  • 1. Department of Technology, Uppsala University, Box 534, 751 21 Uppsala (Sweden)

Description

A Hamiltonian description and integral invariants of two-dimensional magnetic electron modes are derived. Vortex street solutions are given. Using the integrals, linear stability for long wavelength perturbations is established. It is shown that nonlinear stability cannot be proven using Arnol'd's method
