Discrete time crystal made of topological edge magnons

We report the emergence of time-crystalline behavior in the \pi-Berry phase protected edge states of a Heisenberg ferromagnet in the presence of an external driving field. The magnon amplification due to the external field spontaneously breaks the discrete time-translational symmetry, resulting i...
