Abstract: Abstract The modelling of magnetic monopoles in solids is a hot topic nowadays. Here, I propose that in solids with the linear magnetoelectric effect there should exist, close to electric charges, magnetic textures of magnetic monopole type. Their existence can lead to rather striking consequences, such as (magneto)electric Hall effect, magnetophotovoltaic effect and so on, which can be observed experimentally. In addition, in ordinary magnetoelectric materials not only magnetic monopoles can accompany the charge, but also more complicated local magnetic objects can be created, for example, local toroics, which can also lead to unusual effects in transport and other properties of such systems.
