Flux-induced strengthening of the magnetic couplings in a flat-band diamond chain

Abstract
The physics in flat bands has emerged as an essential field in condensed matter physics where a plethora of phenomena can be unveiled, such as anomalous transport properties, superconductivity dominated by quantum geometry or exotic topological phases. Our goal here is to show that even in magnetic systems, the presence of flat bands can give rise to unexpected features. More precisely, we address the impact of an Aharonov-Bohm (AB) flux on the exchange couplings in magnetic diamond chains. The most remarkable result is the significant amplification of magnetic couplings at short distances induced by the AB flux, leading to a considerable increase in the thermal conductivity of the magnons. We have also shown that the flux-dependent decaying length of the couplings is connected to the quantum metric of the flat bands. Our results could be of interest for the control of magnetic properties in spintronic devices and relevant for the heat transport by magnons at the nanoscale in quantum technologies.
