We study periodically driven insulating noncollinear stacked kagome antiferromagnets with a conventional symmetry-protected three-dimensional (3D) in-plane $120^circ$ spin structure, with either positive or negative vector chirality. We show that the symmetry protection of the in-plane $120^circ$ spin structure can be broken in the presence of an off-resonant circularly or linearly polarized electric field propagating parallel to the in-plane $120^circ$ spin structure (say along the $x$ direction). Consequently, topological Floquet Weyl magnon nodes with opposite chirality are photoinduced along the $k_x$ momentum direction. They manifest as the monopoles of the photoinduced Berry curvature. We also show that the system exhibits a photoinduced magnon thermal Hall effect for circularly polarized electric field. Furthermore, we show that the photoinduced chiral spin structure is a canted 3D in-plane $120^circ$ spin structure, which was recently observed in the equilibrium noncollinear antiferromagnetic Weyl semimetals Mn$_3$Snslash Ge. Our result not only paves the way towards the experimental realization of Weyl magnons and photoinduced thermal Hall effects, but also provides a powerful mechanism for manipulating the intrinsic properties of 3D topological antiferromagnets.

We study periodically driven pure Kitaev model and ferromagnetic phase of the Kitaev-Heisenberg model on the honeycomb lattice by off-resonant linearly and circularly-polarized lights at zero magnetic field. Using a combination of linear spin wave an
d Floquet theories, we show that the effective time-independent Hamiltonians in the off-resonant regime map onto the corresponding anisotropic static spin model, plus a tunable photoinduced magnetic field along the $[111]$ direction, which precipitates Floquet topological magnons and chiral magnon edge modes. They are tunable by the light amplitude and polarization. Similarly, we show that the thermal Hall effect induced by the Berry curvature of the Floquet topological magnons can also be tuned by the laser field. Our results pave the way for ultrafast manipulation of topological magnons in irradiated Kitaev magnets, and could play a pivotal role in the investigation of ultrafast magnon spin current generation in Kitaev materials.
The periodic driving of a quantum system can enable new topological phases without analogs in static systems. This provides a route towards preparing non-equilibrium quantum phases rooted into the non-equilibrium nature by periodic driving engineerin
g. Motivated by the ongoing considerable interest in topological semimetals, we are interested in the novel topological phases in the periodically driven topological semimetals without a static counterpart. We propose to design non-equilibrium topological semimetals in the regime of weakly driving field where the spectrum width of shares the same magnitude with the driving frequency. We identify two novel types of non-equilibrium Weyl semimetals (i.e., Floquet and anomalous Floquet Weyl semimetals) that do not exhibit analogues in equilibrium. The proposed setup is shown to be experimentally feasible using the state-of-the-art techniques used to control ultracold atoms in optical lattices.
We study the nontrivial linear magnon band crossings in the collinear antiferromagnets on the two-dimensional (2D) CaVO lattice, also realized in some iron-based superconductors such as AFe$_{1.6+x}$Se$_2$ (A = K, Rb, Cs). It is shown that the combin
ation of space-inversion and time-reversal symmetry ($mathcal{PT}$-symmetry) leads to doubly-degenerate eight magnon branches, which cross each other linearly along a one-dimensional loop in the 2D Brillouin zone. We show that the Dirac nodal loops (DNLs) are not present in the collinear ferromagnet on this lattice. Thus, the current 2D antiferromagnetic DNLs are symmetry-protected and they provide a novel platform to search for their analogs in 2D electronic antiferromagnetic systems.
We study irradiated two-dimensional insulating bilayer honeycomb ferromagnets and antiferromagnets coupled antiferromagnetically with a zero net magnetization. The former is realized in the recently synthesized bilayer honeycomb chromium triiodide Cr
I$_{bf 3}$. In both systems, we show that circularly-polarized electric field breaks time-reversal symmetry and induces a dynamical Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction in each honeycomb layer. However, the resulting bilayer antiferromagnetic system still preserves a combination of time-reversal and space-inversion ($mathcal{PT}$) symmetry. We show that the magnon topology of the bilayer antiferromagnetic system is characterized by a $pmb{mathbb{Z}_2}$ Floquet topological invariant. Therefore, the system realizes a magnonic Floquet quantum spin Hall insulator with spin filtered magnon edge states. This leads to a non-vanishing Floquet magnon spin Nernst effect, whereas the Floquet magnon thermal Hall effect vanishes due to $mathcal{PT}$ symmetry. We study the rich $pmb{mathbb{Z}_2}$ Floquet topological magnon phase diagram of the system as a function of the light amplitudes and polarizations. We further discuss the great impact of the results on future experimental realizations.
We predict that an external field can induce a spin order in highly frustrated classical Heisenberg magnets. We find analytically stabilization of collinear states by thermal fluctuations at a one-third of the saturation field for kagome and garnet l
attices and at a half of the saturation field for pyrochlore and frustrated square lattices. This effect is studied numerically for the frustrated square-lattice antiferromagnet by Monte Carlo simulations for classical spins and by exact diagonalization for $S=1/2$. The field induced collinear states have a spin gap and produce magnetization plateaus.
