Traditionally, the primary field, where curvature has been at the heart of research, is the
theory of general relativity. In recent studies, however, the impact of curvilinear geometry …

As the dimensions of a material shrink from an extended bulk solid to a nanoscale structure,
size and quantum confinement effects become dominant, altering the properties of the …

Magnetic skyrmions are stable topological solitons with complex non-coplanar spin
structures. Their nanoscopic size and the low electric currents required to control their …

Recently a zoology of non-collinear chiral spin textures has been discovered, most of which,
such as skyrmions and antiskyrmions, have integer topological charges. Here we report the …

Over the past few years, the study of magnetization dynamics in artificial spin ices has
become a vibrant field of study. Artificial spin ices are ensembles of geometrically arranged …

Magnetic structures have attracted a great interest due to their multiple applications, from
physics to biomedicine. Several techniques are currently employed to investigate magnetic …

Hopfions are an intriguing class of string-like solitons, named according to a classical
topological concept classifying three-dimensional direction fields. The search for hopfions in …

Electron tomography (ET) has become a well-established technique to visualize
nanomaterials in three dimensions. A vast richness in information can be gained by ET, but …

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 magnets …

Helimagnets realize an effective lamellar ordering that supports disclination and dislocation
defects. Here, we investigate the micromagnetic structure of screw dislocation lines in cubic …
