Topological Magnon Frequency Combs
read the original abstract
Exploring the synergy between topological physics and nonlinear dynamics unveils profound insights into emergent states of matter. Inspired by recent experimental demonstrations of topological frequency combs in photonics, we theoretically introduce topological magnon frequency combs (MFCs) in a two-dimensional triangular skyrmion lattice. Computing the Chern numbers of magnon bands reveals robust chiral edge states. Strikingly, these topological MFCs originate from nonlinear four-magnon scattering among the chiral edge modes, activated by dual-frequency driving without an amplitude threshold. Comb spacings are readily tunable through excitation frequency detuning. Micromagnetic simulations validate our predictions with good concordance. This work paves the way for defect-immune magnonic devices exploiting MFCs and sparks investigations into topological-nonlinear phenomena in magnetic systems.

Spin-Hall-Like Magnon Transport in a Synthetic Antiferromagnetic Skyrmion Lattice
Synthetic antiferromagnetic skyrmion lattices support layer-polarized spin-Hall-like magnon edge modes from opposing layer Hall responses, not Z2 topology, due to absent pseudo-time-reversal symmetry.
