Intrinsic localized modes in a two-dimensional checkerboard ferromagnetic lattice (Q6170000)

In the paper an intrinsic localized model in one 2D checker board Heisenberg ferromagnet is studied. Using an asymptotic method developed by Butt and Wattis, the governing lattice dynamical equations are simplified to a \((2+1)\)-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equation. Using its known solutions, different forms of intrinsic localized mode solutions are constructed in the checkerboard Heisenberg ferromagnet. Moreover, analytical forms for the Brillouin zone center mode and corner mode are presented and their existence conditions and properties are confirmed. It is shown that the local structure of the Brillouin zone corner acoustic mode depends on the competition between the Dzialozinskii-Moriya interaction and the Heisenberg next-nearest neighbor exchange interaction.
