Description

Classical models of one dimensional magnetic systems show that in addition to the linear spin wave excitations, there should exist localized, large amplitude excitations, that can move along the chains while retaining their integrity. It is expected that these excitations, solitons, exist in real materials. The authors discuss the progress that has been made to date in observing solitons in one dimensional magnets by means of neutron scattering, and the difficulties that still remain in unambiguously identifying the soliton contributions to S
