Abstract:
Localized states embedded in a patterned background are found in numerical simulations of spontaneous pattern formation in a spin-1/2 atomic system with optical feedback. In the vicinity of a parameter region with bistability between two homogeneous states large amplitude peaks as well as dark holes exist as stable localized states on a hexagonal background. Moreover, resonant interaction between oscillatory and stationary inhomogeneous modes produces a nonstationary background which may force the localized states to drift.

Stability of Equilibrium Configuration
A stable equilibrium occurs when a system tends to return to its original position when given a small displacement, and the potential energy is at its minimum. An example of a stable equilibrium is when a cantilever beam is fixed at one end and a weight is attached to the other end. If the weight...
