Abstract
We predict that complete magnetization reversal in simple metallic ferromagnetic nanoparticles is directly linked to the pair creation of topological point defects in the form of hedgehog-antihedgehog pairs. These dynamical point defects move at exceptionally high speeds in excess of 1500 m/s, faster than any other known magnetic object. Their rapid motion generates unprecedented solenoidal emergent fields on the order of megavolts per meter, in analogy to the magnetic field of a moving electric charge, providing a striking example that a moving hedgehog constitutes an emergent magnetic monopole.
