Topological bosonic excitations must, in contrast to their fermionic counterparts, appear at finite energies. This is a key challenge for magnons, as it prevents straightforward excitation and detection of topologically-protected magnonic…
Exfoliated chromium triiodide (CrI$_3$) is a layered van der Waals (vdW) magnetic insulator that consists of ferromagnetic layers coupled through antiferromagnetic interlayer exchange. The resulting permutations of magnetic configurations…
When interacting spins in condensed matter order ferromagnetically, their ground state wave function is topologically trivial. Nonetheless, in two dimensions, the ferromagnetic state can support spin excitations with nontrivial topology, an…
A magnetic domain boundary on the surface of a three-dimensional topological insulator is predicted to host a chiral edge state, but direct demonstration is challenging. Here, we used a scanning superconducting quantum interference device…
Chiral edge state (CES) at zero magnetic field has already been realized in the magnetically doped topological insulator (TI). However, this scheme strongly relies on material breakthroughs, and in fact, most of the TIs cannot be driven…
Topological magnon insulators exhibit robust edge modes with chiral properties similar to quantum Hall edge states. However, due to their strong localization at the edges, interactions between these chiral edge magnons can be significant,…
We investigate the properties of magnon edge states in a ferromagnetic honeycomb lattice with armchair boundaries. In contrast with fermionic graphene, we find novel edge states due to the missing bonds along the boundary sites. After…
Topological magnon insulators (TMI) are ordered magnets supporting chiral edge magnon excitations. These edge states are envisioned to serve as topologically protected information channels in low-loss magnonic devices. The standard…
Two-dimensional (2D) honeycomb ferromagnets, such as monolayer chromium-trihalides, are predicted to behave as topological magnon insulators - characterized by an insulating bulk and topologically protected edge states, giving rise to a…
The realization and detection of topological phases with ultracold atomic gases is at the frontier of current theoretical and experimental research. Here, we identify cold atoms in optical ladders subjected to synthetic magnetic fields as…
Recent works have proved the existence of symmetry-protected edge states in certain one-dimensional topological band insulators and superconductors at the gap-closing points which define quantum phase transitions between two topologically…
We study the emergence of electronic edge states in superconducting (SC) monolayer, bilayer, and trilayer graphene for both spin-singlet and spin-triplet SC order parameters. We focus mostly on the gapped chiral $p+ip'$- and $d+id'$-wave SC…
Exploring the synergy between topological physics and nonlinear dynamics unveils profound insights into emergent states of matter. Inspired by recent experimental demonstrations of topological frequency combs in photonics, we theoretically…
It has been recently shown that in the Heisenberg (anti)ferromagnet on the honeycomb lattice, the magnons (spin wave quasipacticles) realize a massless two-dimensional (2D) Dirac-like Hamiltonian. It was shown that the Dirac magnon…
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…
Magnetic topological insulators can host chiral 1D edge channels at zero magnetic field, when a magnetic gap opens at the Dirac point in the band structure of 2D topological surface states, leading to the quantum anomalous Hall effect in…
Magnetic topological insulators (MTIs) host topologically protected edge states, but the role that these edge states play in electronic transport remains unclear. Using scanning superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID)…
We study reconstruction of the chiral edge states in a magnetic Chern insulator in the Kondo lattice model on a triangular lattice at 1/4 filling. In this state, the spin scalar chirality associated with a four-sublattice noncoplanar…
Controlling edge states of topological magnon insulators is a promising route to stable spintronics devices. However, to experimentally ascertain the topology of magnon bands is a challenging task. Here we derive a fundamental relation…
In two-dimensional electronic lattices, changes in the topology of the Fermi surface (Lifshitz transitions) lead to Van Hove singularities characterized by a divergence in the electronic density of states. Van Hove singularities can enhance…
