Magnon topological transition in skyrmion crystal (2311.10622v1)

Abstract: We study the magnon spectrum in skyrmion crystal formed in thin ferromagnetic films with Dzyalosinskii-Moria interaction in presence of magnetic field. Focusing on two low-lying observable magnon modes and employing stereographic projection method, we develop a theory demonstrating a topological transition in the spectrum. Upon the increase of magnetic field, the gap between two magnon bands closes, with the ensuing change in the topological character of both bands. This phenomenon of gap closing, if confirmed in magnetic resonance experiments, may deserve further investigation by thermal Hall conductivity experiments.
