08.12.2022 Publication about Altermagnetism

A publication of Jairo Sinova, Libor Šmejkal and Thomas Jungwirth about altermagnetism, a new nonrelativistic magnetic phase has been published in Physical Review X.

A few month ago a new magnetic phase (altermagnetism) has been proposed. Altermagnets have zero net magnetization (like antiferromagnets) yet spin split electronic bands (like ferromagnets). This paper describes the theoretic framework and orders recent research in the emerging field.
