Topological magnon is a vibrant research field gaining more and more attention in the past few years. Among many theoretical proposals and limited experimental studies, ferromagnetic Kagome lattice emerges as one of the most elucidating systems. Here we report neutron scattering studies of YMn6Sn6, a metallic system consisting of ferromagnetic Kagome planes. This system undergoes a commensurate-to-incommensurate antiferromagnetic phase transition upon cooling with the incommensurability along the out-of-plane direction. We observe magnon band gap opening at the symmetry-protected K points and ascribe this feature to the antisymmetric Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interactions. Our observation supports the existence of topological Dirac magnons in both the commensurate collinear and incommensurate coplanar magnetic orders, which is further corroborated by symmetry analysis. This finding places YMn6Sn6 as a promising candidate for room-temperature magnon spintronics applications.

Magnetic topological phases of quantum matter are an emerging frontier in physics and material science. Along these lines, several kagome magnets have appeared as the most promising platforms. Here, we explore magnetic correlations in the transition-
metal-based kagome magnet TbMn$_{6}$Sn$_{6}$. Our results show that the system exhibits an out-of-plane ferrimagnetic structure $P6/mmm$ (comprised by Tb and Mn moments) with slow magnetic fluctuations in a wide temperature range. These fluctuations exhibit a slowing down below $T_{rm C1}^{*}$ ${simeq}$ 120 K and a slightly modified quasi-static magnetic state is established below $T_{rm C1}$ ${simeq}$ 20 K. A canted variation of the $P6/mmm$ structure is possible, where all moments contribute to a net $c$-axis ferrimagnetic state which exhibits zero net in-plane components. Alternatively, a small incommensurate $k$-vector could arise below $T_{rm C1}$. We further show that the temperature evolution of the anomalous Hall conductivity (AHC) is strongly influenced by the low temperature magnetic crossover. More importantly, the here identified magnetic state seems to be responsible for the large quasi-linear magnetoresistance as well as for the appearance of quantum oscillations, which are related to the quantized Landau fan structure featuring a spin-polarized Dirac dispersion with a large Chern gap. Therefore the exciting perspective of a magnetic system arises in which the topological response can be controlled, and thus explored, over a wide range of parameters.
Magnons and phonons are two fundamental neutral excitations of magnetically ordered materials which can significantly dominate the low-energy thermal properties. In this work we study the interplay of magnons and phonons in honeycomb and Kagome latti
ces. When the mirror reflection with respect to the magnetic ordering direction is broken, the symmetry-allowed in-plane Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interaction will couple the magnons to the phonons and the magnon-polaron states are formed. Besides, both lattice structures also allow for an out-of-plane DM interaction rendering the uncoupled magnons to be topological. Our aim is to study the interplay of such topological magnons with phonons. We show that the hybridization between magnons and phonons can significantly redistribute the Berry curvature among the bands. Especially, we found that the topological magnon band becomes trivial while the hybridized states at lower energy acquire Berry curvature strongly peaked near the avoided crossings. As such the thermal Hall conductivity of topological magnons shows significant changes due to coupling to the phonons.
We introduce a non-Abelian kagome lattice model that has both time-reversal and inversion symmetries and study the flat band physics and topological phases of this model. Due to the coexistence of both time-reversal and inversion symmetries, the ener
gy bands consist of three doubly degenerate bands whose energy and conditions for the presence of flat bands could be obtained analytically, allowing us to tune the flat band with respect to the other two dispersive bands from the top to the middle and then to the bottom of the three bands. We further study the gapped phases of the model and show that they belong to the same phase as the band gaps only close at discrete points of the parameter space, making any two gapped phases adiabatically connected to each other without closing the band gap. Using the Pfaffian approach based on the time-reversal symmetry and parity characterization from the inversion symmetry, we calculate the bulk topological invariants and demonstrate that the unique gapped phases belong to the $Z_2$ quantum spin Hall phase, which is further confirmed by the edge state calculations.
The spin ice compound Dy_2Ti_2O_7 stands out as the first topological magnet in three dimensions, with its tell-tale emergent fractionalized magnetic monopole excitations. Its real-time dynamical properties have been an enigma from the very beginning
. Using ultrasensitive, non-invasive SQUID measurements, we show that Dy_2Ti_2O_7 exhibits a highly anomalous noise spectrum, in three qualitatively different regimes: equilibrium spin ice, a `frozen regime extending to ultra-low temperatures, as well as a high-temperature `anomalous paramagnet. We show that in the simplest model of spin ice, the dynamics is not anomalous, and we present several distinct mechanisms which give rise to a coloured noise spectrum. In addition, we identify the structure of the single-ion dynamics as a crucial ingredient for any modelling. Thus, the dynamics of spin ice Dy_2Ti_2O_7 reflects the interplay of local dynamics with emergent topological degrees of freedom and a frustration-generated imperfectly flat energy landscape, and as such should be relevant for a broad class of magnetic materials.
Topological spin textures have attracted much attention both for fundamental physics and spintronics applications. Among them, antiskyrmions possess a unique spin configuration with Bloch-type and Neel-type domain walls due to anisotropic Dzyaloshins
kii-Moriya interaction (DMI) in the noncentrosymmetric crystal structure. However, antiskyrmions have thus far only been observed in a few Heusler compounds with $D_{2mathrm{d}}$ symmetry. Here, we report a new material Fe$_{1.9}$Ni$_{0.9}$Pd$_{0.2}$P in a different symmetry class ($S_4$ symmetry), where antiskyrmions exist over a wide temperature region including room temperature, and transform to skyrmions upon changing magnetic field and lamella thickness. The periodicity of magnetic textures greatly depends on crystal thickness, and domains with anisotropic sawtooth fractals are observed at the surface of thick crystals, which are attributed to the interplay between dipolar interaction and DMI as governed by crystal symmetry. Our findings provide a new arena to study antiskyrmions, and should stimulate further research on topological spin textures and their applications.
