Abstract
In the framework of the microscopic Bogoliubov-de Gennes theory, we study the spatial configurations of topological defects in chiral p-wave superconducting systems. Besides the quantized vortex states with pointlike cores, the coreless single or multiple skyrmionic structures with the topological charge Q=2 and several types of the skyrmion-vortex coexisting modes can remain stable in the bulk system. Interestingly, the multiskyrmionic patterns containing several separated skyrmionic chains can be obtained at an appropriate flux, accompanied with half-quantum vortex-antivortex pairs in one component of the order parameter. Further, more complex skyrmionic states with Q=6 can also take place when the external magnetic flux becomes stronger.
