| Popis: | We study the axion in three-dimensional topological insulators with magnetic impurities under finite temperature. We find a stable antiferromagnetic ground state and ferromagnetic metastable state. In both magnetic states, the mass of the axion is found to be up to eV scale and it approaches zero near the phase boundary of the magnetic state. This result applies to both normal and topological insulator phases, i.e., the axion mass is insensitive to the topological states, and it will have a direct impact on the targeted mass range of particle axion dark matter in future experiments. 22 pages, 4 figures, published in PRB |
