Topological Magnetic Phases and Magnon-Phonon Hybridization in the Presence of Strong Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya Interaction

Abstract

In recent years, the interplay between quantum magnetism and topology has attracted growing interest, both for its fundamental importance and its technological potential. Topological magnons, quantized spin excitations with nontrivial band topology, hold particular promise for spintronics, offering routes to robust, low-dissipation devices for next-generation information processing and storage. While topological magnons in honeycomb ferromagnets with weak next-nearest-neighbor Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions (DMI) have been extensively investigated, the strong-DMI regime remains largely unexplored. In this work, we examine topological magnetic phases and magnon-phonon hybridization in a two-dimensional magnetic system with strong DMI. We show that strong DMI drives a transition from a ferromagnetic ground state to a 120${}^{\circ }$ noncollinear order. An additional Zeeman field further induces noncoplanar spin textures, giving rise to a diverse set of topological phases. We demonstrate that these topological phases can be directly probed through the anomalous thermal Hall effect. Finally, we find that the spin-spin interactions in the strong-$D$ phase enable magnon-phonon coupling that yields hybridized topological bands, whereas such coupling vanishes in the weak-$D$ phase.
