Abstract
We reveal the rich magnon topology in honeycomb bilayer ferromagnets (HBF) induced by the combined effect of interlayer exchange, Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI), and electrostatic doping (ED). In particular, we present a systematic study of the Hamiltonian non-adiabatic evolution in the HBF parametric space, spanned by the symmetry-breaking terms (DMI and ED) and interlayer exchange. We determine the band closure manifolds which are found to divide the parametric space into six distinct regions, matched with five distinct topological phases and one topologically trivial phase. The characteristic Chern numbers and thermal Hall conductivities are calculated for the topological phases. Edge spectra, dictated by the bulk-edge correspondence, are also analyzed in the nanoribbon version of the model. Both bulk and edge spectra are found to be nonreciprocal as a consequence of ED and edge magnons are observed to counter propagate on opposite edges. The predicted results offer new insights on the manipulation of magnonic Chern numbers and magnon topological transport via experimentally tunable parameters.
