Berry curvature in magnon-phonon hybrid systems
  We theoretically study 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 anomalous velocity is given for yttrium iron garnet.
