title: Coupled dust-lattice solitons in monolayer plasma crystals.
abstract: Nonlinearly coupled dust-lattice (DL) waves in monolayer plasma crystals are studied theoretically. It is shown that the high-frequency transverse (vertical) oscillations can form localized wave envelopes--solitons coupled with "slow" longitudinal DL perturbations. Using the molecular dynamics simulations, the derived soliton solution is shown to be stable.
