| heal.abstract | We demonstrate numerically that an oscillation mode in 1+1 dimensions (e.g., a breather or an oscillon) can decay into a kink-antikink pair by a sudden distortion of the evolution potential which occurs within a certain time or space domain. In particular, we consider the transition of a sine-Gordon potential into a Phi(4) potential. The breather field configuration is assumed to initially evolve in a sine-Gordon potential with velocity v and oscillation frequency omega. We then consider two types of numerical experiments: (a) an abrupt transition of the potential to a Phi(4) form at t(0)=0 over the whole 1-dimensional lattice; and (b) the impact of the breather on a region x > x(0)=0 where the potential has the Phi(4) form which is different from the sine-Gordon form valid at x < x(0)=0. We find that in both cases there is a region of parameters (v,omega) such that the breather decays to a kink-antikink pair. This region of parameters for kink-antikink formation is qualitatively similar with the parameter region where the energy of the breather exceeds the energy of the kink-antikink pair in the Phi(4) potential. We demonstrate that the same mechanism for soliton formation is realized when using a Gaussian oscillator (oscillon) instead of a breather. We briefly discuss the implications of our results for realistic experiments as well as their extension to soliton formation in two and three space dimensions. | en |
