Topological magnons on the triangular kagome lattice

Abstract

We present the topology of magnons on the triangular kagome lattice (TKL) by calculating its Berry curvature, Chern number and edge states. In addition to the ferromagnetic state, the TKL hosts ferrimagnetic ground state as its two sublattices can couple with each other either ferromagnetically or antiferromagnetically. Using Holstein-Primakoff (HP) boson theory and Green's function approach, we find that the TKL has a rich topological band structure with added high Chern numbers compared with the kagome and honeycomb lattices. The magnon edge current allows a convenient calculation of thermal Hall coefficients and the orbital angular momentum gives correlation to the Einstein-de Haas effect. We apply the calculations to the TKL and derive the topological gyromagnetic ratio showing a nonzero Einstein-de Haas effect in the zero temperature limit. Our results render the TKL as a potential platform for quantum magnonics applications including high-precision mechanical sensors and information transmission.
