Hopf solitons in helical and conical backgrounds of chiral magnetic solids

Robert Voinescu, Jung-Shen B. Tai, Ivan I. Smalyukh

Three-dimensional topological solitons attract a great deal of interest in fields ranging from particle physics to cosmology but remain experimentally elusive in solid-state magnet…

Three-dimensional crystals of adaptive knots

Jung-Shen B. Tai, Ivan I. Smalyukh

Starting from Gauss and Kelvin, knots in fields were postulated behaving like particles, but experimentally they were found only as transient features or required complex boundary…

Surface anchoring as a control parameter for stabilizing torons, skyrmions, twisted walls, fingers and their hybrids in chiral nematics

Jung-Shen B. Tai, Ivan I. Smalyukh

Chiral condensed matter systems, such as liquid crystals and magnets, exhibit a host of spatially localized topological structures that emerge from the medium's tendency to twist a…

Composite Skyrmion bags in two-dimensional materials

David Foster, Charles Kind, Paul J. Ackerman +3

Skyrmions are particle-like topological excitations, studied in various condensed matter systems and models of high-energy physics (HEP). They occur as stable spin textures in cert…

Static Hopf Solitons and Knotted Emergent Fields in Solid-State Noncentrosymmetric Magnetic Nanostructures

Jung-Shen B. Tai, Ivan I. Smalyukh

Two-dimensional topological solitons, commonly called Skyrmions, are extensively studied in solid-state magnetic nanostructures and promise many spintronics applications. However,…
