Topologically Nontrivial Magnon Bands in Artificial Square Spin Ices with Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya Interaction [Topologically Non-Trivial Magnon Bands in Artificial Square Spin Ices Subject to Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya Interaction]
Abstract
Systems that exhibit topologically protected edge states are interesting both from a fundamental point of view as well as for potential applications, the latter because of the absence of backscattering and robustness to perturbations. It is desirable to be able to control and manipulate such edge states. Here, we demonstrate using a semi-analytical model that artificial square ices can incorporate both features: an interfacial Dzyaloshinksii-Moriya gives rise to topologically non-trivial magnon bands, and the equilibrium state of the spin ice is reconfigurable with different states having different magnon dispersions and topology. Micromagnetic simulations are used to determine the magnetization equilibrium states and to validate the semi-analytical model. Lastly, our results are amenable to experimental verification via, e.g., lithographic patterning and micro-focused Brillouin light scattering.
