Disordered hyperuniform materials are very promising for applications but the successful route for synthesizing them requires understanding the interactions induced by the host media that can switch off this hidden order. With this aim we study the model system of vortices in the β−Bi2Pd superconductor where correlated defects seem to play a determinant role for the nucleation of a gel vortex phase at low densities.

In a recent publication, we showed that a monoaxial chiral magnet has a continuum of metastable helical states differing by the helix wave number. This intriguing result was obtained for the case of an infinite magnet (or a magnet with periodic boundary conditions). However, it has been pointed out that in a real magnet only one of these states is compatible with the boundary conditions, because the helix wave number is determined by the surface chiral twist.
