We analyze the existence and properties of one-dimensional self-trapped beams (spatial optical solitons) in such media and demonstrate the existence of aKeywords: Light propagation; Metals; Suspensions (fluids); Bi stables; Bistabilities; Coherent solitons; Colloidal suspensions; Continuous wave beams; Dielectric nanoparticles; Modulational instabilities; One-dimensional; Phase independents; Self-trapped beams; Sol200910.1103/PhysRevA.79.0238142016-02-24
