A new type of three-dimensional magnetic soliton in easy-axis ferromagnets is predicted by taking simultaneous account of the Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya interaction and an external magnetic field. The numerically obtained static three-dimensional solitons with a finite energy are characterized by a Hopf topological index H=0 and have a vortex structure. The structure of these solitons and the dependence of their energy on the external field are determined. The asymptotic behavior of these solitons is…

Magnetic skyrmions are two-dimensional topologicallyprotected spin textureswith particle like properties which may crystallize inlattices that are typically oriented perpendicular to the magnetic…
Contact topology and the structure and dynamics of cholesterics
Using tools and concepts from contact topology we show that non-vanishing twist implies conservation of the layer structure in cholesteric liquid crystals. This leads to a number of additional…
