Breakdown of chiral edge modes in topological magnon insulators

J Habel, A Mook, J Willsher, J Knolle - Physical Review B, 2024 - APS
Topological magnon insulators (TMI) are ordered magnets supporting chiral edge magnon
excitations. These edge states are envisioned to serve as topologically protected information …

Nonlocal damping of spin waves in a magnetic insulator induced by normal, heavy, or altermagnetic metallic overlayer: a Schwinger-Keldysh field theory approach

F Reyes-Osorio, BK Nikolic - arXiv preprint arXiv:2312.09140, 2023 - arxiv.org
Understanding spin wave (SW) damping, and how to control it to the point of being able to
amplify SW-mediated signals, is one of the key requirements to bring the envisaged …

Impact of magnon interactions on transport in honeycomb antiferromagnets

K Sourounis, A Manchon - Physical Review B, 2024 - APS
The thermal transport of magnons has attracted substantial attention as an energy-efficient
alternative to the transport of electrons. Most theoretical studies so far have been carried out …

Topological phase transitions and thermal Hall effect in a noncollinear spin texture
