Magnonic Su-Schrieffer-Heeger Model in Honeycomb Ferromagnets
arXiv:2009.02291 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.103.014407
Abstract
Topological electronics has extended its richness to non-electronic systems where phonons and magnons can play the role of electrons. In particular, topological phases of magnons can be enabled by the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) which acts as an effective spin-orbit coupling. We show that besides DMI, an alternating arrangement of Heisenberg exchange interactions critically determines the magnon band topology, realizing a magnonic analog of the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model. On a honeycomb ferromagnet with perpendicular anisotropy, we calculate the topological phase diagram, the chiral edge states, and the associated magnon Hall effect by allowing the relative strength of exchange interactions on different links to be tunable. Including weak phonon-magnon hybridization does not change the result. Candidate materials are discussed.
