摘要

A magnetic heliknoton is the three-dimensional counterpart to the two-dimensional magnetic skyrmion, and serves as a pivotal topological soliton for extending topological magnetism into three dimensions. However, its experimental realization remains elusive. Here we report the controlled nucleation of a magnetic heliknoton in the chiral magnet FeGe at zero magnetic field, achieved through nanoscale current-pulse excitation. By combining angle-dependent quantitative electron holography with micromagnetic simulations, we resolve the three-dimensional spin texture of the heliknoton. In particular, the heliknoton exhibits current-driven collinear motion without the Hall effect. Our findings establish a readily accessible experimental platform for further exploration of three-dimensional topological solitons and highlight their potential for practical applications.
