A vortex, a circulating flow around a void, is one of the basic topological phenomena in nature. Here we show that vortices generally emerge in spin wave travelling upon topologically nontrivial magnetic texture, due to the transverse…

We explain the spin segregation seen at Duke in a two-component gas of 6Li [Du, Luo, Clancy and Thomas, Phys. Rev. Lett. 101,150401 (2008)] as a mean-field effect describable via a collisionless Boltzmann equation. As seen in experiments,…
