Topological responses from gapped Weyl points in 2D altermagnets (2403.09520v2)
Published 14 Mar 2024 in cond-mat.mes-hall and cond-mat.mtrl-sci
Abstract: We study the symmetry requirements for topologically protected spin-polarized Weyl points in 2D altermagnets. The topology is characterized by a quantized $\pi$-Berry phase and the degeneracy is protected by spin-space group symmetries. Gapped phases with finite Chern and/or spin/chirality Chern numbers emerge under different symmetry-breaking mass terms. We investigate the surface and transport properties of these gapped phases using representative electronic tight-binding and magnonic linear spin-wave models. In particular, we calculate the electronic and magnonic Hall currents and discuss implications for experiments.
