Advanced nanofabrication techniques and novel 3D magnetization visualization methods have inspired significant research in 3D nano-magnetism, uncovering intriguing nanostructures and physics beyond the realms of 1D and 2D. A fascinating discovery arising from this exploration is that of magnetic hopfions, three-dimensional topological magnetic textures [1,2,3]. In references [4,5] the stabilization of magnetic Hopfions through higher-order exchange interactions in bulk magnets has been proposed. We investigate theoretically the influence of the different model parameters on the Hopfion properties for Hopfions stabilized by such higher-order exchange interactions. We further look for novel Hopfion stabilization mechanisms.
