摘要
We studied a two-band magnon insulating model whose geometry is that of a modified Lieb lattice in which one of the sites was removed. Anisotropic ferromagnetic exchange interactions exist between the three nearest neighbors, and the anisotropy opens a gap in the magnon energy band structure. A non-vanishing Berry curvature is induced by a Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI). The topology of the bands is trivial (in the sense of a null Chern number), but the finite Berry curvature induces Hall-like transport effects whose coefficients were calculated. Their dependence on temperature was studied and shows a resemblance with other magnon insulating systems found in the literature. The dependence on exchange couplings, DMI parameter, and external magnetic field was also investigated.
