Abstract

Topological defects, such as magnetic-flux-carrying quantum vortices, determine the magnetic response of superconductors and hence are of fundamental importance. Here, we show that stable CP2 skyrmions exist in three-band s+is superconductors as fully self-consistent solutions to a microscopic Bogoliubov–de Gennes model. This allows us to calculate microscopically the magnetic signatures of CP2 skyrmions and their footprint in the local density of states.
