Topological magnons have garnered significant interest for their potential in both fundamental research and device applications, owing to their exotic, uncharged, yet topologically protected boundary modes. However, their comprehension has been hindered by the absence of fundamental symmetry descriptions of magnetic materials, which are primarily governed by isotropic Heisenberg interactions in spin Hamiltonians. The ensuing magnon dispersions enable gapless magnon band nodes that go beyond the scenario of representation theory of the magnetic space groups (MSGs), thus referred to as unconventional magnons. Here we developed spin space group (SSG) theory to elucidate collinear magnetic configurations, classifying the 1421 collinear SSGs into four types, constructing their band representations, and providing a comprehensive tabulation of unconventional magnons, such as duodecuple points, octuple nodal lines, and charge-4 octuple points. Based on the MAGNDATA database, we identified 498 collinear magnets with unconventional magnons, among which over 200 magnon band structures were obtained by using first-principles calculations and linear spin wave theory. Additionally, we evaluated the influence of the spin-orbit coupling-induced exchange interaction in these magnets and found that more than 80% are predominantly governed by the Heisenberg interactions, indicating that SSG serves as an ideal framework for describing magnon band nodes in most 3d, 4d and half-filled 4f collinear magnets. Our work offers new pathways for exploring uncharged transports in magnonic systems, holding promise for advancements in next-generation spintronic devices.

利用绝缘体中的纯磁振子自旋电流进行信息传输和处理是传统电荷电流驱动自旋电子器件的一种很有前途的替代方案。焦耳加热的情况下,以及减少自旋波阻尼绝缘铁磁体已被建议,使有效的逻辑器件的实施。在基于自旋波叠加的逻辑多数门的概念验证成功之后,需要更多的组件来执行复杂的逻辑运算。一个关键的组成部分是一个开关,对应于一个传统的磁阻自旋阀。在这里,我们报告的磁化取向依赖的自旋信号检测共线磁性多层膜自旋输运的磁振子自旋电流。我们发现在Y3 Fe 5 O 12 |CoO| Co三层薄膜中,探测到的自旋信号依赖于Y3 Fe 5 O 12和Co的相对取向。这表明在我们的系统中存在自旋阀行为,其效应幅度为120%。我们证明了这种效应的可靠性,并通过温度和功率相关的测量来研究起源,表明自旋整流效应和磁性层取向相关的自旋输运效应导致测量信号。
