Abstract:
A new class of nodal topological excitations in a 2D Heisenberg model is studied. The solutions correspond to a nodal singular point of the gradient field of the azimuthal angle. An analytical solution found for the isotropic case. An effect of in-plane exchange anisotropy is studied numerically. It results in solutions which are analogues of the conventional out-of-plane solitons in the 2D magnets.
