Abstract

We study by means of numerical simulation collisions of quasi-one-dimensional solitonic excitations in a 2D lattice of particles interacting via Morse potential forces. Local mobile excitations arise as a result of strong kicks for one or some selected particles stimulating motion of compression of density along crystallographic axes. It is shown that both two colliding head-on excitations and two excitations moving in parallel rods behave as real solitons and do not deform after contact with each other. Excitations moving in non-parallel axes collapse while meeting each other in the same point. But only one of them is destroyed if it crosses a trajectory of other local excitation just after passing of the latter because of temporal local deformation of a lattice behind a solitonic excitation. This effect provides possibility of control of motion of solitons and may be used for control of soliton assisted transport of charged particles.
