Topological magnon insulators in two-dimensional van der Waals ferromagnets CrSiTe3 and CrGeTe3: Toward intrinsic gap-tunability.
Sci. Adv. 7:eabi7532 (2021)
The bosonic analogs 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 ferromagnets have emerged as a new platform for
topological spin excitations. Here, via a comprehensive inelastic
neutron scattering study and theoretical analysis of the spin-wave
excitations, we report the realization of topological magnon insulators
in CrXTe3 (X = Si, Ge) compounds. The nontrivial nature and
intrinsic tunability of the gap opening at the magnon band-crossing
Dirac points are confirmed, while the emergence of the corresponding
in-gap topological edge states is demonstrated theoretically. The
realization of topological magnon insulators with intrinsic
gap-unability in this class of remarkable 2D materials will undoubtedly
lead to new and fascinating technological applications in the domain of
magnonics and topological spintronics.
