We study the spin excitation spectra and the dynamical exchange coupling between iron adatoms on a Bi bilayer nanoribbon. We show that the topological character of the edge states is preserved in the presence of the magnetic adatoms. Nevertheless, they couple significantly to the edge spin currents, as witnessed by the large and long-ranged dynamical coupling we obtain in our calcula- tions. The large effective magnetocrystalline anisotropy of the magnetic adatoms combined with the transport… Expand
