摘要:

受抑量子磁体不仅提供奇异的基态和不寻常的磁结构,而且在许多情况下支持非常规的激发。利用一个物理相关的自旋模型呼吸烧绿石晶格,我们讨论了存在的拓扑线性带交叉的反铁磁体中的磁振子。这些是电子系统中的外尔费米子的类似物,我们称之为外尔磁振子。体外尔磁振子意味着手征磁振子表面态的存在,在有限能量下形成弧。我们认为,这样的反铁磁体提出了一个独特的例子,其中外尔点可以在实验室中原位操作的应用领域。我们讨论了他们的外观,特别是在呼吸烧绿石晶格,并给出一些一般性的讨论条件,找到外尔磁振子,以及如何可以探测实验。我们的工作可能会激发重新审视许多磁有序系统中的磁激发。

英文摘要:

Frustrated quantum magnets not only provide exotic ground states and unusual magnetic structures, but also support unconventional excitations in many cases. Using a physically relevant spin model for a breathing pyrochlore lattice, we discuss the presence of topological linear band crossings of magnons in antiferromagnets. These are the analogs of Weyl fermions in electronic systems, which we dub Weyl magnons. The bulk Weyl magnon implies the presence of chiral magnon surface states forming arcs at finite energy. We argue that such antiferromagnets present a unique example in which Weyl points can be manipulated in situ in the laboratory by applied fields. We discuss their appearance specifically in the breathing pyrochlore lattice, and give some general discussion of conditions to find Weyl magnons and how they may be probed experimentally. Our work may inspire a re-examination of the magnetic excitations in many magnetically ordered systems.
