The spiral magnetic order in cubic MnSi-type crystals is considered using the model of classical Heisenberg ferromagnetics with an extra interaction of the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) type between neighboring atoms. It is found how the wave…

The interaction of two screw dislocations in smectic-A liquid crystals is treated using an anharmonic correction to the elastic energy density. In the present contribution the elastic energy and the force between two screw dislocations is…

As a guide to constitutive specification, driving forces for dislocation velocity and nucleation rates are derived for a field theory of dislocation mechanics. A condition of closure for the theory in the form of a boundary condition for…

We report an unexpected characteristic of dislocation cores in silicon. Using first-principles calculations, we show that all the stable core configurations for a non-dissociated 60$^\circ$ dislocation are sessile. The only glissile…

Large lossless currents in high-temperature superconductors (HTS) critically rely on dense defects with suitable size and dimensionality to pin vortices, with dislocations being particularly effective due to their one-dimensional geometry…

A theory for conduction electron scattering by inhomogeneous crystal lattice strains is developed, based on the differential geometric treatment of deformations in solids. The resulting fully covariant Schr\"odinger equation shows that the…

An understanding of the pinning of magnetic skyrmions to defects is crucial for the development of future spintronic applications. While pinning is desirable for a precise positioning of magnetic skyrmions it is detrimental when they are to…

In chiral magnets, localized topological magnetic whirls, magnetic skyrmions, can be moved by spin polarized electric currents. Upon increasing the current strength, with prospects for high-speed skyrmion motion for spintronics applications…

Large twist-angle grain boundaries in layered structures are often described by Scherk's first surface whereas small twist-angle grain boundaries are usually described in terms of an array of screw dislocations. We show that there is no…

Rare-earth magnets with parent cubic symmetry exhibit unique topological properties. However, the origin of these behaviors remains presently unclear. Here, we develop minimal models for Dirac semimetals (DSMs) with accidental band…

In body-centered cubic (bcc) metals such as molybdenum, screw dislocations often exhibit non-Schmid behavior, moving in directions unpredicted by the Schmid law. The mobility of these dislocations is notably influenced by the presence of…

Topological defects play a critical role across many fields, mediating phase transitions and macroscopic behaviors as they move through space. Their role as robust information carriers has also generated much attention. However, controlling…

Within the continuum dislocation theory the asymptotic analysis of the plane strain crack problem for a single crystal having only one active slip system on each half-plane is provided. The results of this asymptotic analysis show that the…

Magnetic chiral bobbers (CBs) are three-dimensional (3D) topological spin textures that consist of a tapered skyrmion tube terminating in a Bloch point, promising applications in high-density spintronics. However, the mechanisms controlling…

Writing, erasing and computing are three fundamental operations required by any working electronic devices. Magnetic skyrmions could be basic bits in promising in emerging topological spintronic devices. In particular, skyrmions in chiral…

Time dependence of the size and chirality of a ferromagnetic skyrmion in a Heisenberg model with the magnetic field on a square lattice has been studied analytically and numerically. The lattice and the magnetic field generate strong time…

We investigate spin-wave propagation in magnetic insulators in the presence of lattice dislocations. Within a continuum magnetoelastic framework, we show that the strain fields generated by dislocations induce equilibrium magnetic textures.…

Pinning interaction between a screw dislocation and a void in fcc copper is investigated by means of molecular dynamics simulation. A screw dislocation bows out to undergo depinning on the original glide plane at low temperatures, where the…

In this note we discuss two aspects of screw dislocations dynamics: their behavior near the boundary and a way to confine them inside the material. In the former case, we obtain analytical results on the estimates of collision times (one…

Theory of interference-induced quantum corrections to conductivity is developed for two dimensional systems with chiral spin textures including skyrmions. The effect of exchange interaction between electrons and spin textures on weak…
