We study gauge fields produced by gradients of the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction and propose a model of an AFM topological insulator of magnons. In the long wavelength limit, the Landau levels induced by the inhomogeneous Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction exhibit relativistic physics described by the Klein-Gordon equation. The spin Nernst response due to the formation of magnonic Landau levels is compared to similar topological responses in skyrmion and vortex-antivortex crystal phases of AFM insulators. Our studies show that AFM insulators exhibit rich physics associated with topological magnon excitations.
我们研究了由Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya相互作用的梯度产生的规范场,并提出了一种磁振子反铁磁拓扑绝缘体模型。在长波长极限下,由非均匀Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya相互作用诱导的朗道能级呈现出由克莱因-戈登方程描述的相对论物理。将由于磁振子朗道能级形成而产生的自旋能斯特响应与反铁磁绝缘体的斯格明子和涡旋-反涡旋晶体相中的类似拓扑响应进行了比较。我们的研究表明,反铁磁绝缘体展现出与拓扑磁振子激发相关的丰富物理现象。
