Abstract

It has been shown that the magnetostatic interaction in an inhomogeneous medium leads to the removal of the chiral degeneracy of magnetic distributions. Noncollinear states of two magnetic dipoles and a helical cycloid placed over a superconducting half-space have been considered as examples. The influence of a finite penetration depth of the magnetic field on the efficiency of removal of the chiral degeneracy has been studied in the framework of the London approximation.
