abstract = {The phase of the quantum-mechanical wave function can
encode a topological structure with widerangingphysical
consequences, such as anomalous transport effects and the
existence of edge statesrobust against perturbations. While
this has been exhaustively demonstrated for electrons,
propertiesassociated with the elementary quasiparticles in
magnetic materials are still underexplored.In our joint
project, we have shown theoretically and via inelastic
neutron scattering experimentsthat the bulk ferromagnet
Mn5Ge3 hosts gapped topological Dirac magnons [1]. Although
inversionsymmetry prohibits a net Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya
interaction in the unit cell, it is locally allowed andis
responsible for the gap opening in the magnon spectrum. This
gap is predicted and experimentallyverified to close by
rotating the magnetization away from the c-axis with an
applied magneticfield. Hence, Mn5Ge3 realizes a gapped Dirac
magnon material in three dimensions. Its tunabilityby
chemical doping or by thin film nanostructuring defines an
exciting new platform to explore anddesign topological
magnons. More generally, our experimental route to verify
and control the topologicalcharacter of the magnons is
applicable to bulk centrosymmetric hexagonal materials,
whichcalls for systematic investigation.[1] M. dos Santos
