Magnetic competition in topological kagome magnets

Magnetic competition in topological kagome magnets is studied by incorporating the spin–orbit coupling, anisotropic Hund coupling and spin exchange into a tight-binding electron dynamics in the kagome lattice. Using the Bogoliubov variational principle we find the stable phases at zero and finite te...

description Magnetic competition in topological kagome magnets is studied by incorporating the spin–orbit coupling, anisotropic Hund coupling and spin exchange into a tight-binding electron dynamics in the kagome lattice. Using the Bogoliubov variational principle we find the stable phases at zero and finite temperatures. At zero temperature and in the strong Ising-Hund coupling regime, a magnetic tunability from the out-of-plane ferromagnetism to the in-plane antiferromagnetism is achieved through a universal property of the critical in-plane Hund coupling. At low temperature the out-of-plane ferromagnetism is stable until a finite crossing temperature. Above the crossing temperature the in-plane antiferromagnetism is stable, but the magnetization of the out-of-plane ferromagnetism still survives. This suggests a metastable coexistence of these magnetic phases in a finite temperature range. A large anomalous Hall conductance is observed in the Ising-Hund coupling limit.
