Description
The broken inversion symmetry of underlying crystals of non-centrosymmetric superconductors gives rise to new nontrivial phenomena, such as magnetoelectric effects and helical phases. We study non-centrosymmetric superconductor using the Ginzburg-Landau effective model supplemented with a parity-odd Lifshitz term. We show that these parity-odd superconductors possess knotted solitons in a form of a self-linked magnetic field, which resemble Chandrasekhar-Kendall states in astrophysical plasma. We present explicit analytical solutions for material with the crystallographic $O$ - point group. We find that the magnetic field in these solutions is not quantized. The spatial distribution of the supercurrent is demonstrated.
