Topological excitations in the Shastry-Sutherland model compound SrCu2(BO3)2 — •Dirk Wulferding1,2, Peter Lemmens1,2, Youngsu Choi3, Kwang-Yong Choi3, and Hiroshi Kageyama4 — 1IPKM, TU-BS, Braunschweig, Germany — 2LENA, TU-BS, Braunschweig, Germany — 3Chung-Ang Univ., Seoul, Korea — 4Chemistry Dept., Kyoto Univ., Japan
In the Shastry-Sutherland model compound SrCu2(BO3)2 the ground state is composed of orthogonal spin dimers with low-energy triplon excitations and bound states [1]. In applied magnetic fields of around 1.4 T a topological phase transition is induced, where magnon bands acquire a finite Chern number together with the formation of topologically protected edge states [2,3] - realizing a magnetic analogue of a topological insulator. At higher fields around 27 T a 1/8 magnetization plateau corresponding to the crystallization of triplons appears [4]. Our Raman spectroscopic study at low and high magnetic fields probes the magnetic excitations in the singlet sector through the topological phase transitions.
