Discovery of coexisting Dirac and triply degenerate magnons in a three-dimensional antiferromagnet

Topological magnonic materials display exotic properties which may enable high-efficiency and low-cost spintronic devices. Here the authors demonstrate a three-dimensional antiferromagnet Cu3TeO6 that hosts symmetry-protected Dirac and triply degenerate magnons.
