摘要:

我们研究了YbMnBi $_2$的磁结构和动力学,弹性和非弹性中子散射,揭示了反铁磁相的载流子的拓扑性质。我们确认C-型反铁磁有序的Mn自旋低于$T_{\rm N} = 290$ K,并确定的自旋点沿$c$轴内约$3^\circ$。所观察到的磁振子谱可以很好地描述为相同的有效自旋哈密顿量,如先前所使用的模型的磁振子谱的CaMnBi $_2$。我们的研究结果表明,在YbMnBi $_2$的时间反演对称性破缺机制的Weyl节点的创建可以排除在块。

英文摘要:

We investigated the magnetic structure and dynamics of YbMnBi$_2$, with elastic and inelastic neutron scattering, to shed light on the topological nature of the charge carriers in the antiferromagnetic phase. We confirm C-type antiferromagnetic ordering of the Mn spins below $T_{\rm N} = 290$ K, and determine that the spins point along the $c$-axis to within about $3^\circ$. The observed magnon spectrum can be described very well by the same effective spin Hamiltonian as was used previously to model the magnon spectrum of CaMnBi$_2$. Our results show conclusively that the creation of Weyl nodes in YbMnBi$_2$ by the time-reversal-symmetry breaking mechanism can be excluded in the bulk.
