R Takahashi, N Nagaosa
Physical review letters, 2016•APSWe study theoretically the Berry curvature of the magnon induced by the hybridization with
the acoustic phonons via the spin-orbit and dipolar interactions. We first discuss the magnon-
phonon hybridization via the dipolar interaction, and show that the dispersions have gapless
points in momentum space, some of which form a loop. Next, when both spin-orbit and
dipolar interactions are considered, we show anisotropic texture of the Berry curvature and
its divergence with and without gap closing. Realistic evaluation of the consequent …

Realistic evaluation of the consequent anomalous velocity is given for yttrium iron garnet.
