Fig. 7: Vortex states in a truncated experimental nanocap.
From: Chirality coupling in topological magnetic textures with multiple magnetochiral parameters

Panels a, e, i, m represent the reconstructed vortex lines (black tubes) inside the truncated asymmetric nanocap with vortices of different magnetic helicity: a for P = + 1, C = + 1; e for P = − 1, C = − 1; i for P = + 1, C = − 1; m for P = − 1, C = + 1. Their rescaled shapes extracted from the calculation of \(\widetilde{\Omega }\) are shown in (b, f, j, n), respectively. The resulting distributions of vortex string curvature and torsion are shown in (c, g, k, o) and (d, h, l, p), respectively. All isosurfaces are constructed for \(\widetilde{\Omega }\)= 0.35.
