Attractive Hopfions and Bimerons in Thin Films of Chiral Magnets: Cluster Formation and Lattice Instability in the Conical Phase
Andrey O. Leonov, Takayuki Shigenaga
We investigate the energetics, interactions, and ordering tendencies of bimerons (cholesteric fingers of the second type, CF--2) and hopfions in thin films of chiral magnets and ch…

Cholesteric Fingers from a Magnetic Perspective: Topology, Energetics, and Interactions
Takayuki Shigenaga, Andrey O. Leonov
Chiral liquid crystals and chiral magnets host a wide variety of topological solitons described by closely related continuum theories, namely the Frank-Oseen and Dzyaloshinskii mod…

Low-Temperature Skyrmions and Spiral Reorientation Processes in Chiral Magnets with Cubic Anisotropy: Guidelines for Bridging Theory and Experiment
A. O. Leonov, G. Gödecke, J. Grefe +2
We revisit the phenomenological Dzyaloshinskii framework, a central theoretical approach for describing magnetization processes in bulk chiral magnets, and demonstrate how magnetoc…
