Controlling edge states of topological magnon insulators is a promising route to stable spintronics devices. However, to experimentally ascertain the topology of magnon bands is a challenging task. Here we derive a fundamental relation between the light-matter coupling and the quantum geometry of magnon states.

The knowledge of the magnon dispersion relations in antiferromagnetic materials with nontrivial spin textures has considerable interest to the understanding of magnonic and spintronic phenomena involving these materials. One particularly interesting nontrivial spin texture existing in several antiferromagnets has spins at an angle of 120° with the in-plane neighbors and arranged in kagome lattices. Here we present a spin-wave calculation for antiferromagnets with kagome spin lattices considering exchange and single-ion anisotropy interactions between the spins.

Inelastic scattering of visible light (Raman effect) offers a window into properties of correlated metals such as spin, electron and lattice dynamics as well as their mutual interactions. In this review we focus on electronic and spin excitations in Fe-based pnictides and chalcogenides, in particular but not exclusively superconductors. After a general introduction to the basic theory including the selection rules for the various scattering processes we provide an overview over the major experimental results.

Brillouin light scattering in ferromagnetic materials usually involves one magnon and two photons and their total angular momentum is conserved. Here, we experimentally demonstrate the presence of a helicity-changing two-magnon Brillouin light scattering in a ferromagnetic crystal, which can be viewed as a four-wave mixing process involving two magnons and two photons. Moreover, we observe an unconventional helicity-changing one-magnon Brillouin light scattering, which apparently infringes the conservation law of the angular momentum.

We report inelastic light scattering studies on Ca(Fe0.97Co0.03)2As2 in a wide spectral range of 120-5200 cm( - 1) from 5 to 300 K, covering the tetragonal to orthorhombic structural transition as well as magnetic transition at Tsm ~ 160 K.
