Controlled creation of a singular spinor vortex by circumventing the Dirac belt trick
Topological defects and textures are universal phenomena across physics. The authors demonstrate that an initial non-singular spinor texture can be controllably transformed into a pair of singular vortices with cores filled by atoms that continuously connect distinct magnetic phases of matter.
