Chiral topological insulator of magnons
arXiv:1712.08612 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.97.174413
Abstract
We propose a magnon realization of 3D topological insulator in the AIII (chiral symmetry) topological class. The topological magnon gap opens due to the presence of Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions. The existence of the topological invariant is established by calculating the bulk winding number of the system. Within our model, the surface magnon Dirac cone is protected by the sublattice chiral symmetry. By analyzing the magnon surface modes, we confirm that the backscattering is prohibited. By weakly breaking the chiral symmetry, we observe the magnon Hall response on the surface due to opening of the gap. Finally, we show that by changing certain parameters the system can be tuned between the chiral topological insulator (mcTI), three dimensional magnon anomalous Hall (3D-mAH), and Weyl magnon phases.
