TL;DR: The notion of non-trivial topological winding in condensed matter systems represents a major area of present-day theoretical and experimental research as discussed by the authors, and the potential for major breakthroughs ranging from fundamental questions to applications as driven by an interdisciplinary exchange of ideas between areas in magnetism which traditionally have been pursued rather independently.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used ab initio methods to investigate electron scattering mechanisms behind differences in residual resistivity of the Cantor-Wu family of face-centered cubic disordered alloys.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate that the electron mean free-path can vary from ~10 A (strong scattering limit) to ~10$^3$ A (weak scattering limit), and delineate the underlying electron scattering mechanisms responsible for this disparate behavior.

TL;DR: Its implementation on the basis of the fully relativistic Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker band structure method together with the Coherent Potential Approximation (CPA) alloy theory allows application to a wide range of situations.

TL;DR: The findings correct the previous work, in which multiple minima in the AFM signal were interpreted as a reflection of the orientation of a single front atom, and suggest that dual and triple minata in the force signal are caused by dimer and trimer tips, respectively.
