Out-of-surface vortices in spherical shells

arXiv:1202.6002 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.85.144433

Abstract

The interplay of topological defects with curvature is studied for out-of-surface magnetic vortices in thin spherical nanoshells. In the case of easy-surface Heisenberg magnet it is shown that the curvature of the underlying surface leads to a coupling between the localized out-of-surface component of the vortex with its delocalized in-surface structure, i.e. polarity-chirality coupling.
