The two-dimensional magnet has been an emerging and rapidly growing field. The nontrivial topological phenomenon in these materials is an attracting subject. Yet, the realization of such magnets exhibiting topological magnons remains a challenge. Here, employing the linear spin-wave theory and the first-principles calculations, we propose that variety of topological phases exist in the triangular ferromagnet. These include magnon Chern insulators and high-order topological insulators. Interestingly, these topological states can coexist within a certain parameter space, leading to a hybrid topological state. We propose that these topological phases can be realized via atomic substitutions inMnSe2orMnTe2single-layers. The following detailed analysis suggests that non-uniform Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya interactions are crucial in achieving topological magnons. Our work unveil a unique approach to obtaining non-trivial topological magnons in two-dimensional materials.
二维磁体一直是一个新兴且快速发展的领域。这些材料中的非平凡拓扑现象是一个引人关注的课题。然而,实现具有拓扑磁振子的此类磁体仍然是一项挑战。在此,我们采用线性自旋波理论和第一性原理计算,提出三角铁磁体中存在多种拓扑相。这些相包括磁振子陈绝缘体和高阶拓扑绝缘体。有趣的是,这些拓扑态可以在一定参数空间内共存,从而导致一种混合拓扑态。我们提出这些拓扑相可以通过在MnSe2或MnTe2单层中进行原子替代来实现。以下详细分析表明,非均匀的Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya相互作用对于实现拓扑磁振子至关重要。我们的工作揭示了一种在二维材料中获得非平凡拓扑磁振子的独特方法。
