Tunable magnon Weyl points in ferromagnetic pyrochlores

Abstract

The dispersion relations of magnons in ferromagnetic pyrochlores with Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction is shown to possess Weyl points, i.\,e., pairs of topological nontrivial crossings of two magnon branches with opposite topological charge. As a consequence of their topological nature, their projections onto a surface are connected by magnon arcs, thereby resembling closely Fermi arcs of electronic Weyl semimetals. On top of this, the positions of the Weyl points in reciprocal space can be tuned widely by an external magnetic field: rotated within the surface plane, the Weyl points and magnon arcs are rotated as well; tilting the magnetic field out-of-plane shifts the Weyl points toward the center $\bar{\Gamma }$ of the surface Brillouin zone. The theory is valid for the class of ferromagnetic pyrochlores, i.\,e., three-dimensional extensions of topological magnon insulators on kagome lattices. In this Letter, we focus on the $(111)$ surface, identify candidates of established ferromagnetic pyrochlores which apply to the considered spin model, and suggest experiments for the detection of the topological features.
