Domain wall formation and magnon localization in twisted chromium trihalides

Abstract

The rise of twistronics has revolutionized the field of condensed matter physics, and more specifically the future applications of two-dimensional materials. At small twist angles, the microscopic world becomes strongly correlated, and unexpected physical phenomena such as superconductivity emerge. For magnetic layers, stacking plays a crucial role in the magnetic exchange coupling between the layers leading to non-trivial spin configurations and flat spin-wave dispersion when twisted. In this work, we give a short overview of the most recent theoretical and experimental works reporting the effect of twist angles on two-dimensional magnets. Besides, we discuss the effect of the twist angle and the local antiferromagnetic interlayer exchange coupling on the formation of antiferromagnetic domains in chromium trihalides. Finally, we show some preliminary results on the effect of the stacking and the twist angle on the spin-wave dispersion of bilayer CrI${}_3$
