Fractional Skyrmion Tubes in Chiral‐Interfaced 3D Magnetic Nanowires
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.In chiral 3D helical magnetic nanowires, the coupling between the geometric and magnetic chirality provides a way to create topological spin states like vortex tubes. Here, it is demonstrated how the breaking of this coupling in interfaced 3D nanowires of opposite chirality leads to even more complex topological spin states, such as fractional ...
