Zusammenfassung: | In this paper, we present a comprehensive study of topological magnon bands and thermal Hall
effect in
non-collinear antiferromagnetic systems on the honeycomb lattice with an intrinsic
Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction. We theoretically show that the system possesses
topological magnon
bands with Chern number protected edge modes accompanied by a nonzero thermal
magnon Hall
effect. These
features result from non-collinearity of the magnetic moments due to an applied
out-of-plane magnetic
field. Our results provide an experimental clue towards the realization
of topological magnon transports in honeycomb antiferromagnetic compounds
such as XPS3 (X = Mn,Fe) and
α-Cu2V2O7. |
