New type of stable particle like states in chiral magnets (Chiral bobbers)

We present a new type of a thermodynamically stable magnetic state at interfaces and surfaces of chiral magnets. The state is a soliton solution of micromagnetic equations localized in all three dimensions near a boundary and contains a singularity, but nevertheless has a finite energy. Both features combine to a quasi-particle state for which we expect unusual transport and dynamical properties. It exhibits high thermal stability and thereby can be considered as promising object for fundamental research and practical applications in spintronic devices. We provide arguments that such a state can be found in different B20-type alloys e.g. Mn$_{1-x}$Fe$_x$Ge, Mn$_{1-x}$Fe$_x$Si, Fe$_{1-x}$Co$_x$Si.Comment: accepted in PR

2-(4-Meth­oxy­phen­yl)-4H-1,3,2-benzoxathia­phosphinine 2-sulfide

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C14H13O2PS2, contains two crystallographically independent mol­ecules, which differ in the conformation of the 1,3,2-benzoxathia­phosphinine moieties (screw boat in the first mol­ecule and envelope in the second mol­ecule). In the crystal, neither classical nor non-classical hydrogen bonds are found. Weak inter­actions (about 2.9–3.0 Å) between the lone pair of the terminal S atoms with H atoms occur. This compound was further characterized by 1H NMR and IR spectroscopy

Dynamical Toroidal Hopfions in a Ferromagnet with Easy-Axis Anisotropy

Three-dimensional toroidal precession solitons with a nonzero Hopf index, which uniformly move along the anisotropy axis in a uniaxial ferromagnet, have been found. The structure and existence region of the solitons have been numerically determined by solving the Landau-Lifshitz equation.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figure

2-[2-(1H-Imidazol-1-yl)-2-adamant­yl]phenol

In the title mol­ecule, C19H22N2O, the imidazole and benzene rings form a dihedral angle of 84.53 (5)°. In the crystal, classical inter­molecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds pair the mol­ecules into centrosymmetric dimers, and C—H⋯π inter­actions further link these dimers into columns propagated in [100]

Exact Self-consistent Particle-like Solutions to the Equations of Nonlinear Scalar Electrodynamics in General Relativity

Exact self-consistent particle-like solutions with spherical and/or cylindrical symmetry to the equations governing the interacting system of scalar, electromagnetic and gravitational fields have been obtained. As a particular case it is shown that the equations of motion admit a special kind of solutions with sharp boundary known as droplets. For these solutions, the physical fields vanish and the space-time is flat outside of the critical sphere or cylinder. Therefore, the mass and the electric charge of these configurations are zero.Comment: 17 pages, Submitted to the International Journal of Theoretical Physic

2-(2-Methoxy­phen­yl)-4,4-dimethyl-4,5-dihydro-1,3-oxazole

In the title mol­ecule, C12H15NO2, the oxazole ring adopts an envelope conformation. Overall, the mol­ecule is approximately planar, the dihedral angle between the mean plane through all but the methyl­ene C atom of the five-membered ring and the aromatic ring being 8.6 (1)°. A weak C—H⋯O inter­action contributes to the stabilization of the crystal structure

Interaction of Individual Skyrmions in Nanostructured Cubic Chiral Magnet

We report the direct evidence of field-dependent character of the interaction between individual magnetic skyrmions as well as between skyrmions and edges in B20-type FeGe nanostripes observed by means of high resolution Lorentz transmission electron microscopy. It is shown that above certain critical values of external magnetic field the character of such long-range skyrmion interactions change from attraction to repulsion. Experimentally measured equilibrium inter-skyrmion and skrymion-edge distances as function of applied magnetic field shows quantitative agreement with the results of micromagnetic simulations. Important role of demagnetizing fields and internal symmetry of three-dimensional magnetic skyrmions are discussed in details.Comment: accepted in PR
