"# Hopfion in a nanodisk\n",
"\n",
"In this tutorial we relax a hopfion in a chiral magnetic nanodisk and calculate its Hopf index. We consider a nanodisk with a radius $r=100 \\, \\text{nm}$, a thickness $t=70 \\, \\text{nm}$, and ends at the top and bottom of thickness $d=10 \\, \\text{nm}$ in which the unit magnetization field $\\boldsymbol{m}$ is frozen along the $z$-direction.\n",
"\n",
"This tutorial draws on the works [Y. Liu, R. K. Lake and J. Zang. Binding a hopfion in a chiral magnet nanodisk. Phys. Rev. B 98, 174437 (2019)](https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevB.98.174437) and [P. Sutcliffe. Hopfions in chiral magnets. J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 51 375401 (2018)](https://doi.org/10.1088/1751-8121/aad521)."
