Spin waves in monolayers of transition-metal dichalcogenides with Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction

Dzialoshinski Moriya interaction, known also as the antisymmetric exchange coupling, leads to a variety of interesting spin phenomena, like spin canting, skyrmion formation, nonreciprocal spin wave propagation, and others. In this paper we analyze spin waves in monolayers of two-dimensional van der Waals materials, such as Vanadium based Dichalcogenides, VX2 (X=S, Se, Te) and other materials of similar symmetry. The considerations are limited to a collinear spin ground state, stabilized by a sufficiently strong magnetic anisotropy. The theoretical analysis is performed within the general spin wave theory based on the Hollstein–Primakoff–Bogolubov transformation.
