Abstract
The rich order parameter of Spin Density Waves allows for an unusual object of a complex topological nature : a half-integer dislocation combined with a semi-vortex of the staggered magnetization. It becomes energetically preferable to ordinary dislocation due to enhanced Coulomb interactions in the semiconducting regime. Generation of these objects changes the narrow band noise frequency.
