Geometric transformation and three-dimensional hopping of Hopf solitons

Jung-Shen B. Tai et al.

Summary: Researchers have discovered stable Hopf solitons in a liquid crystal material, which are particle-like field distortions with nontrivial topology in three dimensions. By tuning the energetic costs of different gradient components in the molecular alignment field, the stability of Hopf solitons is enhanced. Electric fields allow for the inter-transformation of Hopf solitons between different geometric embodiments and their three-dimensional hopping-like dynamics in response to electric pulses.

Skyrmion Spin Ice in Liquid Crystals

Ayhan Duzgun et al.

Summary: The study proposes the first skyrmion spin ice realized via confined, interacting liquid crystal skyrmions, demonstrating their use as quasiparticles to achieve binary variables that form ice-rule states. This finding not only opens up entirely novel avenues in the field of frustrated systems, but also shows the viability of liquid crystal skyrmions as elementary degrees of freedom in designing collective complex behaviors.

Particle-like topologies in light

Danica Sugic et al.

Summary: This study experimentally creates and measures a topological 3D skyrmionic hopfion in fully structured light, establishing the skyrmionic mapping by adjusting both polarization and phase profiles. The resulting light field's Stokes parameters and phase are synthesized into a Hopf fibration texture, allowing for volumetric full-field reconstruction of the Pi(3) mapping and measurement of a quantized topological charge. This research opens new avenues for 3D optical data encoding and metrology, providing experimentally-accessible photonic analogues to various particle-like 3D topological textures.

A New Class of Chiral Nematic Phase with Helical Polar Order

Hiroya Nishikawa et al.

Summary: A novel chiral nematic phase Np* with a polar helical order has been realized, which is characterized by a continuously twisted polarization and ultrafast electro-optic switching performance. The properties of Np* differ from conventional cholesteric phases and have been confirmed through transmission spectroscopy and measurements. This unique Np*LC structure suggests new potential applications for electrically interchangeable photonic bandgaps.

Coarse-grained theory for motion of solitons and skyrmions in liquid crystals

Cheng Long et al.

Summary: Applied electric fields can induce motion of skyrmions in chiral nematic liquid crystals. A coarse-grained approach is developed to describe the dynamics of skyrmions. The results show that skyrmions move in a direction perpendicular to the induced tilt of the background director.

Magnetic Skyrmion Materials

Yoshinori Tokura et al.

Summary: The concept of Skyrmion, originally proposed in particle physics, has found a fertile field for its applicability in magnetic skyrmions realized in helimagnetic materials. These magnetic topological defects show promising properties for future application in spintronics, with extraordinary metastability and low electric current excitation. The review also covers the emergence of other magnetic topological defects and their interplay with skyrmions.
