contents The magnonic excitations of a dimerized, one-dimensional, antiferromagnetic chain can be trivial or topological depending on the signs and magnitudes of the alternating exchange couplings and the anisotropy. The topological phase that occurs when the signs of the two different exchange couplings alternate is qualitatively different from that of the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model. A material that may exhibit these properties is the quasi-one-dimensional material MoI$_3$ that consists of dimerized chains weakly coupled to adjacent chains. The magnetic ground state and its excitations are analyzed both analytically and numerically using exchange and anisotropy parameters extracted from density functional theory calculations.
