Abstract

The three-dimensional emergent magnetic field of a magnetic hopfion gives rise to emergent magneto-multipoles in a similar manner to the multipoles of classical electromagnetic field. Here, we show that the nonlinear responses of a hopfion are characterized by its emergent magnetic toroidal moment and emergent magnetic octupole component . The hopfion exhibits nonreciprocal dynamics (nonlinear hopfion Hall effect) under an ac driving current applied along (perpendicular to) the direction of . The sign of nonreciprocity and nonlinear Hall angle is determined by the polarity and chirality of hopfion. The nonlinear electrical transport induced by a magnetic hopfion is also discussed. This work reveals the vital roles of emergent magneto-multipoles in nonlinear hopfion dynamics and could stimulate further investigations on the dynamical responses of topological spin textures induced by emergent electromagnetic multipoles.
