This review elaborates pedagogically on the fundamental concept, basic theory, expected
properties, and materials realizations of topological superconductors. The relation between …

The past decade has witnessed dramatic progress related to various aspects of emergent
topological polar textures in oxide nanostructures displaying vortices, skyrmions, merons …

Abstract Topological domains in ferroelectrics,,,–have received much attention recently
owing to their novel functionalities and potential applications, in electronic devices. So far …

We consider the status of black hole (BH) solutions with nontrivial scalar fields but no gauge
fields, in four-dimensional asymptotically flat spacetimes, reviewing both classical results …

Aimed at graduate students, this book explores some of the core phenomena in non-
equilibrium statistical physics. It focuses on the development and application of theoretical …

Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) topological states resemble truly localised, particle-like
objects in physical space. Among the richest such structures are 3D skyrmions and hopfions …

Among topological solitons, magnetic skyrmions are two-dimensional particle-like objects
with a continuous winding of the magnetization, and magnetic Hopfions are three …

Magnetic skyrmions (or vortices) are spatially inhomogeneous spin textures localized in
nanoscale cylindrical regions. Their small size and unique stability make skyrmions …

Traditionally, the primary field, where curvature has been at the heart of research, is the
theory of general relativity. In recent studies, however, the impact of curvilinear geometry …

Skyrmion crystals are regular arrangements of magnetic whirls that exist in a wide range of
chiral magnets. Because of their topology, they cannot be created or destroyed by smooth …
