# Title: Two-Dimensional Dirac Nodal-Loop Magnons in Collinear Antiferromagnets

Authors: S. A. Owerre
Abstract: We study the nontrivial magnon band crossings in the collinear antiferromagnets on the two-dimensional (2D) CaVO lattice. It is shown that the combination of space-inversion and time-reversal symmetry ($\mathcal{PT}$-symmetry) leads to doubly-degenerate eight magnon branches, which cross each other along a one-dimensional loop in the 2D Brillouin zone. We show that the Dirac nodal-loops (DNLs) are not present in the collinear ferromagnet on this lattice. Thus, the current 2D antiferromagnetic DNLs are symmetry-protected and they provide a novel platform to search for their analogs in 2D electronic antiferromagnetic systems.
