Nanoscale topologically non-trivial magnetization configurations generate significant interest due to both their fundamental properties, and their potential applications in ultra-efficient computing devices. While such textures have been widely studied in two dimensions, three dimensional (3D) ordering can yield more complex configurations, resulting in richer topologies and dynamic behaviours. However, reliably nucleating such 3D textures has proven challenging. Here, we achieve the controlled formation of a double helix ordering through the 3D nanopatterning of chiral single crystal helimagnets into nano-tori. We demonstrate that the interplay of intrinsic exchange interactions of the single crystal, with the extrinsic emergent effects of the patterned geometry, leads to the stabilisation of surface-localized topologically non-trivial double helices. Our approach has the potential to be applied to a wide range of quantum material systems.
