Chiral Magnetic Skyrmions with Arbitrary Topological Charge ("skyrmionic sacks")
We show that continuous and spin-lattice models of chiral ferro- and
antiferromagnets provide the existence of an infinite number of stable soliton
solutions of any integer topological charge. A detailed description of the
morphology of new skyrmions and the corresponding energy dependencies are
provided. The considered model is general, and is expected to predict a
plethora of particle-like states which may occur in various chiral magnets
including atomic layers, e.g., PdFe/Ir(111), rhombohedral GaVS
semiconductor, B20-type alloys as MnFeGe, MnFeSi,
FeCoSi, CuOSeO, acentric tetragonal Heusler compounds
New type of stable particle like states in chiral magnets (Chiral bobbers)
We present a new type of a thermodynamically stable magnetic state at
interfaces and surfaces of chiral magnets. The state is a soliton solution of
micromagnetic equations localized in all three dimensions near a boundary and
contains a singularity, but nevertheless has a finite energy. Both features
combine to a quasi-particle state for which we expect unusual transport and
dynamical properties. It exhibits high thermal stability and thereby can be
considered as promising object for fundamental research and practical
applications in spintronic devices. We provide arguments that such a state can
be found in different B20-type alloys e.g. MnFeGe,
MnFeSi, FeCoSi.Comment: accepted in PR
Two-particle decays of B_c meson into charmonium states
The factorization of hard and soft contributions into the hadronic decays of
B_c meson at large recoils is explored in order to evaluate the decay rates
into the S, P and D-wave charmonia associated with rho and pi. The constraints
of approach applicability and uncertainties of numerical estimates are
discussed. The mode with the J/psi in the final state is evaluated taking into
account the cascade radiative electromagnetic decays of excited P-wave states,
that enlarges the branching ratio by 20-25%.Comment: 13 pages, LaTeX axodraw-style, 1 figure, 2 table
Semileptonic transition in three--point QCD sum rules and HQET with gluon condensate corrections
Taking into account the gluon condensate contributions, the form factors of
the semileptonic transition with are
calculated in the framework of the three point QCD sum rules. The heavy quark
effective theory limit of the form factors are also computed. The relevant
total decay width as well as the branching ratio are evaluated and compared
with the predictions of the other non-perturbative approaches.Comment: 27 Pages, 4 Figures and 4 Table
Theory of stripe domains in magnetic shape memory alloys
The evolution of multivariant patterns in thin plates of magnetic shape
memory materials with an applied magnetic field was studied theoretically. A
geometrical domain-model is considered composed of straight stripe-like
martensite variants with constant internal magnetization (high anisotropy
limit) and magnetic domain wall orientation fixed by the twin boundaries.
Through integral transforms of the demagnetization energy, the micromagnetic
energy is cast into a form convenient for direct numerical evaluation and
analytical calculations. The equilibrium geometrical parameters of multivariant
patterns with straight and oblique twin boundaries have been derived as
functions of the applied field and the material parameters of a plate. It is
shown that the oblique multivariant states exist only in plates with
thicknesses L larger than a certain critical value L_0. In samples with L < L_0
a magnetic-field-driven transformation occurs directly between single variant
states.Comment: Materials for E-MRS Fall Meeting, Warsaw 2007. Corrected figure
Leptonic constant of pseudoscalar B_c meson
We calculate the leptonic constant for the ground pseudoscalar state of B_c
meson in the framework of QCD-motivated potential model taking into account the
two-loop anomalous dimension for the heavy quark current in the nonrelativistic
QCD as matched with the full QCD.Comment: 6 pages, RevTeX4 file, 3 eps-figures, several references and remarks

Prospects for the Bc Studies at LHCb
We discuss the motivations and perspectives for the studies of the mesons of
the (bc) family at LHCb. The description of production and decays at LHC
energies is given in details. The event yields, detection efficiencies, and
background conditions for several Bc decay modes at LHCb are estimated.Comment: 20 pages, 5 eps-figure
