Topological antiferromagnetic spintronics: Part of a collection of reviews on antiferromagnetic spintronics
arXiv:1706.00670
Abstract
The recent demonstrations of electrical manipulation and detection of antiferromagnetic spins have opened up a chapter in the spintronics story. In this article, we review the emerging research field that is exploring synergies between antiferromagnetic spintronics and topological structures in real and momentum space. Active topics include proposals to realize Majorana fermions in an antiferromagnetic topological superconductors, to control topological protection of Dirac points by manipulating antiferromagnetic order parameters, and to exploit the anomalous and topological Hall effects of zero net moment antiferromagnets. We explain the basic physics concepts behind these proposals, and discuss potential applications of topological antiferromagnetic spintronics.
