Chiral magnon in ferromagnetic chiral crystals
arXiv:2404.19219 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.111.L060404
Abstract
We theoretically propose chiral magnon in ferromagnetic chiral crystals. We show that the crystal chirality is imprinted in orbital angular momentum of magnons which exhibits the opposite signs for opposite chiralities of the crystal. We also show that a finite magnon orbital angular momentum can be induced by a temperature gradient which is a magnonic analogue of the Edelstein effect.
