LOCALIZED SOLUTIONS IN A 2-DIMENSIONAL LANDAU-LIFSHITZ MODEL

We demonstrate the existence of stable time dependent solutions of the Landau-Lifshitz model for anisotropic ferromagnets. We find such solu tions in all topological sectors, including N = 0. The non-topological structures can be made to move with a constant velocity and in head-o n collisions they scatter at 90 degrees. The topological structures ro tate around their centre of mass. All structures are stable with respe ct to small perturbations. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
