  • Title: Switchable quantum anomalous Hall state in a strongly frustrated lattice magnet.
    Author: Venderbos JW, Daghofer M, van den Brink J, Kumar S.
    Journal: Phys Rev Lett; 2012 Oct 19; 109(16):166405. PubMed ID: 23215101.
    Abstract:
    We establish that the interplay of itinerant fermions with localized magnetic moments on a checkerboard lattice leads to magnetic flux phases. For weak itineracy the flux phase is coplanar and the electronic dispersion takes the shape of graphenelike Dirac fermions. Stronger itineracy drives the formation of a noncoplanar, chiral flux phase, in which the Dirac fermions acquire a topological mass that is proportional to a ferromagnetic spin polarization. Consequently the system self-organizes into a ferromagnetic quantum anomalous Hall state in which the direction of its dissipationless edge currents can be switched by an applied magnetic field.
