Multitude of exceptional points in van der Waals magnets

Abstract

Several works have recently addressed the emergence of exceptional points (EPs), i.e., spectral singularities of non-Hermitian Hamiltonians, in the long-wavelength dynamics of coupled magnetic systems. Here, by focusing on the driven magnetization dynamics of a van der Waals ferromagnetic bilayer, we show that exceptional points can appear over extended portions of the first Brillouin zone as well. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the effective non-Hermitian magnon Hamiltonian, whose eigenvalues are purely real or come in complex-conjugate pairs, respects an unusual wavevector-dependent pseudo-Hermiticity. Finally, for both armchair and zigzag nanoribbon geometries, we discuss both the complex and purely real spectra of the topological edge states and their experimental implications.
