Definitions and meanings of "Soliton"

What do we mean by soliton?

A pulselike wave that can exist in nonlinear systems, does not obey the superposition principle, and does not disperse. noun

A self-reinforcing travelling wave or pulse caused by any non-linear effect; found in many physical systems noun

(physics) a quantum of energy or quasiparticle that can be propagated as a traveling wave in nonlinear systems and is neither preceded nor followed by another such disturbance; does not obey the superposition principle and does not dissipate noun

A self-reinforcing pulse or travelling wave caused by any non-linear effect (found in many physical systems).

The word "soliton" in example sentences

It is very unusual, and it is called a soliton, or solitary wave. ❋ Jlundberg (2007)

In waves and optics parlance, a soliton is a single wave that retains its shape while traveling at a constant speed for significant distances. ❋ Unknown (2010)

While we have understood and appreciated that there is a rich bounty of physical phenomena contained in the theory, this has mostly been uncovered in perturbation theory, occasionally sweetened by a glimpse into the non – perturbative realm afforded by special sectors of the theory such as soliton solutions (including branes of various sorts) or various topological reductions. ❋ Cjohnson (2005)

These everlasting waves are exotic enough, but theoreticians at the Joint Quantum Institute now believe that there may be a new kind of soliton that's even more special. ❋ Unknown (2009)

These everlasting waves are exotic enough, but theoreticians at the Joint Quantum Institute (JQI), a collaboration of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Maryland, and their colleagues in India and the George Mason University, now believe that there may be a new kind of soliton that's even more special. ❋ Unknown (2009)

a collaboration of the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the University of Maryland, and their colleagues in India and the George Mason University, now believe that there may be a new kind of soliton that's even more special. ❋ Unknown (2009)

This wave mechanics is a type of soliton associated with the anti-de Sitter configuration of each cosmology, which is dependent on the value of the cosmological constant or “Lambda.” ❋ Unknown (2010)

These endpoints define 0-branes, and there are some ideas that the whole of M - theory can be reduced to sigma models or soliton field theories of these point-like particles. ❋ Sean (2008)

Maldecena and Lin conjecture that orbifold solutions in String Theory could decay into these soliton states as tachyons condense. ❋ Edward Willett (2006)

The suffix ˜- on™ is meant to call to mind the similar ending that is common in names of fundamental particles in physics, such as proton, neutron, soliton, etc. ❋ Bacon, John (2008)

The study of minds, soliton-like or otherwise, is my particular passion. ❋ Jlundberg (2007)

Twistor correspondences for the soliton hierarchies ❋ Cjohnson (2005)

A soliton, short for solitary wave, is “like an ocean wave that can travel long distances without breaking up,” Yip adds. ❋ Unknown (2005)

The soliton in polyacetylene was born with the observation of an electron spin resonance (esr) signal in the pure material where there should not have been one. ❋ Unknown (2001)

Contact with a soliton wave, even one at moderate energy levels, has been shown to severely disrupt warp transfer coils, shield emitters, and transporters. ❋ David Mack (2002)

One of the most dangerous attributes of a soliton wave is that because it attracts soliton particles in subspace, it can actually increase in size, velocity, and power as it crosses interstellar distances. ❋ David Mack (2002)

If your vessel is not armed or is incapable of intercepting the soliton wave, leave the sector immediately after filing your report of the soliton wave. ❋ David Mack (2002)

Because most known warhead delivery systems are not structurally able to withstand unshielded passage through a soliton wave, the warheads will need to be fired from in front of the wave. ❋ David Mack (2002)

A soliton wave that crosses a wide interstellar gap, such as between the arms of a spiral galaxy, could accumulate enough power to obliterate a planet or even a star on impact. ❋ David Mack (2002)
