In topological insulators, the edge states dominate transport at low temperature. In contrast, topological magnon insulators usually have relatively high-energy edge states. The spin transport is mainly arising from the bulk magnon states. Topological protected edge states are perfect channels for transport due to their robustness against disorder. Enhancing their occupation benefits the efficiency of transport. One method is to excite edges states by photons, a proposed amplification mechanism. Another possibility is to lower the energy of the edge states. Here we show that, by moderately driving the system, we can realize topologically protected edge states with zero energy, and amplify the contribution of spin transport from edge states.
