RESUMEN
Tessellations of the hyperbolic spaces by regular polygons support discrete quantum and classical models with unique spectral and topological characteristics. Resolving the true bulk spectra and the thermodynamic response functions of these models requires converging periodic boundary conditions and our Letter delivers a practical and rigorous solution for this open problem on generic {p,q}-tessellations. This enables us to identify the true spectral gaps of bulk Hamiltonians and construct all but one topological models that deliver the topological gaps predicted by the K theory of the lattices. We demonstrate the emergence of the expected topological spectral flows whenever two such bulk models are deformed into each other and prove the emergence of topological channels whenever a soft physical interface is created between different topological classes of Hamiltonians.
RESUMEN
We propose a concept of noncollinear spin current, whose spin polarization varies in space even in nonmagnetic crystals. While it is commonly assumed that the spin polarization of the spin Hall current is uniform, asymmetric local crystal potential generally allows the spin polarization to be noncollinear in space. Based on microscopic considerations, we demonstrate that such noncollinear spin Hall currents can be observed, for example, in layered Kagome Mn_{3}X (X=Ge, Sn) compounds. Moreover, by referring to atomistic spin dynamics simulations we show that noncollinear spin currents can be used to switch the chiral spin texture of Mn_{3}X in a deterministic way even in the absence of an external magnetic field. Our theoretical prediction can be readily tested in experiments, which will open a novel route toward electric control of complex spin structures in noncollinear antiferromagnets.
RESUMEN
We demonstrate the emergence of an anomalous Hall effect in chiral magnetic textures which is neither proportional to the net magnetization nor to the well-known emergent magnetic field that is responsible for the topological Hall effect. Instead, it appears already at linear order in the gradients of the magnetization texture and exists for one-dimensional magnetic textures such as domain walls and spin spirals. It receives a natural interpretation in the language of Alain Connes' noncommutative geometry. We show that this chiral Hall effect resembles the familiar topological Hall effect in essential properties while its phenomenology is distinctly different. Our findings make the reinterpretation of experimental data necessary, and offer an exciting twist in engineering the electrical transport through magnetic skyrmions.
