Abstract
Using bilayer CrI_{3} as an example, we demonstrate that stacking domain walls in van der Waals magnets can host one-dimensional (1D) magnon channels, which have lower energies than bulk magnons. Interestingly, some magnon channels are hidden in magnetically homogeneous background and can only be inferred with the knowledge of stacking domain walls. Compared to 1D magnons confined in magnetic domain walls, 1D magnons in stacking domain walls are more stable against external perturbations. We show that the relaxed moiré superlattices of small-angle twisted bilayer CrI_{3} is a natural realization of stacking domain walls and host interconnected moiré magnon network. Our Letter reveals the importance of stacking domain walls in understanding magnetic properties of van der Waals magnets and extends the scope of stacking engineering to magnetic dynamics.Year: 2020 PMID: 33412015 DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.125.247201
