Far-field thermal radiation of layered ferromagnetic topological materials.

High Chern number topological insulators can be obtained in a film of layered magnetic block system theoretically and experimentally. With nonzero Chern numbers, Chern insulators become valuable for fundamental topological physics and for improving next-generation electronic devices. We study energy and angular momentum radiation from layered topological insulators using the Dirac Fermion approach and by Green's function method. We make a connection between radiation magnitude and topological phase transitions. We find that the magnetic exchange field, intra-layer coupling, and inter-layer interaction are efficient measures to modify the energy radiation of layered topological materials. Moreover, the magnetic exchange field is indispensable for emitting angular momentum due to the need for breaking time-reversal symmetry. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
