Magnonic heat transport in the Lieb lattice

Abstract In this article we report the effect of charged impurity doping on the thermal spin-wave excitations of 2D Lieb lattice using the longitudinal/transverse and in-plane magnonic heat transport properties in a systematically Green’s function approach and the Born approximation. We present numerical results for XY Heisenberg model. Accordingly, the flow of magnonic current is enhanced depending on the impurity concentration, in which (i) at very low and very high concentrations, in-plane magnon conductivity becomes negative, (ii) the magnon Seebeck coefficient decreases (increases) before (after) a critical impurity concentration for both longitudinal/transverse and in-plane components, (iii) the longitudinal/transverse magnon thermal conductivity increases slightly with impurity concentration, while the in-plane one becomes flat, and (iv) both longitudinal/transverse and in-plane magnonic heat transport efficiencies decrease (increase) at low (high) temperatures with low impurity concentrations, whereas become flat (decrease) at high impurity concentrations. Our results are useful for the implementation of a new spin energy conversion and capable spin-filter devices for the spintronic community.
