Emerging ferroic materials may pave a new way to next-generation nanoelectronic and spintronic devices due to their interesting physical properties. Here, we systematically review unconventional ferroelectric systems, from Hf-based and…
We construct new solutions of the Faddeev-Skyrme-Maxwell model, which represent Hopf solitons coupled to magnetic fluxes. It turns out that coupling to the magnetic field allows for transmutations of the solitons, however, the results…
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…
Magnetic skyrmions are chiral spin textures which have attracted intense research for their fundamentally novel physics and potential applications as spintronic information carriers. The stability which makes them so potentially useful is a…
Fluorite structure ferroelectrics, especially hafnium oxide, are widely investigated for their application in non-volatile memories, sensors, actuators, RF devices and energy harvesters. Due to the metastable nature of the ferroelectric…
We put forward properties of solitons supported by optical lattices featuring topological dislocations, and show that solitons experience attractive and repulsive forces around the dislocations. Suitable arrangements of dislocations are…
Topological phases are characterised by a topological invariant that remains unchanged by deformations in the Hamiltonian. Materials exhibiting topological phases include topological insulators, superconductors exhibiting strong spin-orbit…
Discoveries of the Ferroelectric anomaly (Nad, Monceau, et al) and of the related charge disproportionation (Brown et al) call for a revaluation of the phase diagram of the (TMTTF)2X compounds and return the attention to the interplay of…
The existence of thresholdless vortex solitons trapped at the core of disclination lattices that realize higher-order topological insulators is reported. The study demonstrates the interplay between nonlinearity and higher-order topology in…
Magnetic solitons are nonlinear, local excitations in magnetic systems. In this study, we theoretically and numerically investigate the properties and generation of one-dimensional (1D) topologically trivial magnetic solitons in…
The existence of ring-like structures in exact hopfion solutions is shown.
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…
Scroll waves exist ubiquitously in three-dimensional excitable media. It's rotation center can be regarded as a topological object called vortex filament. In three-dimensional space, the vortex filaments usually form closed loops, and even…
Hopf insulators represent an exceptional class of topological matter unanticipated by the periodic table of topological invariants. These systems point to the existence of previously unexplored states of matter with unconventional topology.…
The three-dimensional emergent magnetic field $\textbf{B}^e$ of a magnetic hopfion gives rise to emergent magneto-multipoles in a similar manner to the multipoles of classical electromagnetic field. Here, we show that the nonlinear…
A generalized micromagnetic model of hopfions in a helimagnet with a two-dimensional (allowing both radial and azimuthal dependence) profile function is considered. Calculations confirm the elliptical stability of hopfions and the…
Since the first report of ferroelectricity in nanoscale HfO$_2$-based thin films in 2011, this silicon-compatible binary oxide has quickly garnered intense interest in academia and industry, and continues to do so. Despite its deceivingly…
We extend the definition of hopfions to include a class of spin-$h$ fields and use this to introduce the electromagnetic and gravitational hopfions of different algebraic types. The fields are constructed through the Penrose contour…
Since the discovery of the relation between the Chern number and quantum Hall effect, searching for observables of topological invariants has been an intriguing topic. Topological Hopf-link semimetals have attracted tremendous interest, in…
Solitonic symmetry has been believed to follow the homotopy-group classification of topological solitons. Here, we point out a more sophisticated algebraic structure when solitons of different dimensions coexist in the spectrum. We uncover…
