Hopfions, as three-dimensional topologically nontrivial structures described by poloidal and toroidal winding numbers, hold promise as robust information carriers in spintronics, functional materials, and optical communications. Although…

Magnetic hopfions are non-collinear spin textures that are characterized by an integer topological invariant, called Hopf index. The three-dimensional magnetic solitons can be thought of as a tube with a twisted magnetization that has been…

We study the stability of Hopfions embedded in a certain modification Ginzburg-Landau model of two equally charged condensates. It has been shown by Ward [Phys. Rev. D66, 041701(R) (2002)] that certain modification of the ordinary model…

Three-dimensional (3D) topological states resemble truly localised, particle-like objects in physical space. Among the richest such structures are 3D skyrmions and hopfions that realise integer topological numbers in their configuration via…

Knots and links play a crucial role in understanding topology and discreteness in nature. In magnetic systems, twisted, knotted and braided vortex tubes manifest as Skyrmions, Hopfions, or screw dislocations. These complex textures are…
