The search for topological spin excitations in recently discovered two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) magnetic materials is important because of their potential applications in dissipation-less spintronics. In the 2D vdW ferromagnetic…
We study the microscopical origin of anisotropic ferromagnetism in the van der Waals magnet CrI3. We conclude that the nearest neighbors exchange is well described by the Heisenberg-Kitaev-Gamma (HKGamma) model, and we also found a nonzero…
In this article, we calculate the magnon spectrum of Kitaev-Heisenberg magnets. This model has been recently proposed as a spin Hamiltonian to model $\text{CrI}_3$ and other two-dimensional magnets. It is a minimal spin Hamiltonian that…
The thermomagnetic Nernst effect and chiral edge states are key signatures of nontrivial topology and emerging Berry curvature in magnonic systems. Implementing atomistic spin simulations, we theoretically demonstrate the emergence of…
The phase of the quantum-mechanical wave function can encode a topological structure with wide-ranging physical consequences, such as anomalous transport effects and the existence of edge states robust against perturbations. While this has…
Dirac magnons, the bosonic counterparts of Dirac fermions in graphene, provide a unique platform to explore symmetry-protected band crossings and quantum geometry in magnetic insulators, while promising high-velocity, low-dissipation spin…
Recent neutron-diffraction experiments in honeycomb CrI$_3$ quasi-2D ferromagnets have evinced the existence of a gap at the Dirac point in their spin-wave spectra. The existence of this gap has been attributed to strong in-plane…
Recent experiments evidence the direct observation of spin waves in chromium trihalides and a gap at the Dirac points of the magnon dispersion in bulk CrI$_3$. However, the topological origin of this feature remains unclear and its…
Motivated by the potential of atomically-thin magnets towards tunable high-frequency magnonics, we detail the spin-wave dispersion of bilayer CrI$_3$. We demonstrate that the magnonic behavior of the bilayer strongly depends on its stacking…
Magnons dominate the magnetic response of the recently discovered insulating ferromagnetic two dimensional crystals such as CrI$_3$. Because of the arrangement of the Cr spins in a honeycomb lattice, magnons in CrI$_3$ bear a strong…
We lay the foundation for determining the microscopic spin interactions in two-dimensional (2D) ferromagnets by combining angle-dependent ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) experiments on high quality CrI$_3$ single crystals with theoretical…
Magnonic excitations in the two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) ferromagnet CrI3 are studied. We find that bulk magnons exhibit a non-trivial topological band structure without the need for Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interaction. This…
The bosonic analogues of topological insulators have been proposed in numerous theoretical works, but their experimental realization is still very rare, especially for spin systems. Recently, two-dimensional (2D) honeycomb van der Waals…
Topological magnons are bosonic analogues of topological fermions in electronic systems. They have been studied extensively by theory but rarely realized by experiment. Here, by performing inelastic neutron scattering measurements on single…
Manipulating physical properties using the spin degree of freedom constitutes a major part of modern condensed matter physics and is very important for spintronics devices. Using the newly discovered two dimensional van der Waals…
In this work, we study topological properties of magnons via creating spin excitations in both ferromagnets and antiferromagnets in presence of an external magnetic field on a two-dimensional square lattice. It is known that…
In this work, we study the magnon-magnon interaction effect in typical honeycomb ferromagnets consisting of van der Waals-bonded stacks of honeycomb layers, e.g., chromium trihalides CrX3 (X = F, Cl, Br, and I), that display two spin-wave…
For topological magnon spectra, determining and explaining the presence of a gap at a magnon crossing point is a key to characterize the topological properties of the system. An inelastic neutron scattering study of a single crystal is a…
Despite serious effort, the nature of the magnetic interactions and the role of electron-correlation effects in magnetic two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals materials remain elusive. Using CrI$_3$ as a model system, we show that the…
Two-dimensional honeycomb lattice ferromagnet chromium tri-iodide (CrI$_3$) has attracted tremendous interest because it retains ferromagnetism down to the monolayer limit and hosts intriguing topological magnons. As a prototypical van der…
