Abstract

Results are presented on the theoretical investigation of various three-dimensional structures in magnets, such as cnoidal and spiral hedgehogs in the Heisenberg model, localized textures, structures with a degree of mapping equal to unity, antiferromagnetic ringlike domains (“targets”), three-dimensional sources, two-dimensional and three-dimensional vortex and spiral structures in multisublattice antiferromagnets. Structure and properties of hopfions in a uniaxial ferromagnet are described.
