Semilocal topological defects [PDF]

open access: yesNuclear Physics B, 1993
Semilocal defects are those formed in field theories with spontaneously broken symmetries, where the vacuum manifold $M$ is fibred by the action of the gauge group in a non-trivial way. Studied in this paper is the simplest such class of theories, in which $M\simeq S^{2N-1}$, fibred by the action of a local $U(1)$ symmetry.

Topological defects and cosmology [PDF]

open access: yesPramana, 1998
Many particle physics models of matter admit solutions corresponding to stable or long-lived topological defects. In the context of standard cosmology it is then unavoidable that such defects will form during phase transitions in the very early Universe.

Topological defects strengthened nonradical oxidation performance of biochar catalyzed peroxydisulfate system

open access: yesBiochar, 2023
Nonradical oxidation based on peroxydisulfate (PDS) activation has attracted increasing attention for selective degradation of organic pollutants. Herein, topological defects were introduced into biochar (BC) via removing N atoms in N-doped BC (NBC) in ...

Poisson-Lie T-duality defects and target space fusion

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2022
Topological defects have long been known to encode symmetries and dualities between physical systems. In the context of string theory, defects have been intensively studied at the level of the worldsheet.

Codimension-2 defects and higher symmetries in (3+1)D topological phases

open access: yesSciPost Physics, 2023
(3+1)D topological phases of matter can host a broad class of non-trivial topological defects of codimension-1, 2, and 3, of which the well-known point charges and flux loops are special cases.

Quasi-one-dimensional metallic conduction channels in exotic ferroelectric topological defects

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
Ferroelectric topological defects show emerging exotic physical properties, which are important for future nanoelectronic devices. Here, the authors demonstrate conductive metallic conduction channels in two types of topological defects, namely vortex ...
