    By using one-dimensional self-consistent relativistic fluid model, a novel type of moving relativistic electromagnetic solitons with high intensity in electron-ion plasmas where the ion dynamics is taken into account is investigated numerically. Unlike solitons with single-humped scalar potential found in previous studies, these solitons possess multi-humped scalar and vector potential. The existence of such soliton solutions is investigated in plasmas with different background densities, and the properties of these solitons are presented in detail. We found that the peculiar profile of electron density has alternating regions of humps and dips like a Bragg grating.
