31.01.2024 New Joint Publication in Altermagnetism

A joint publication with Jairo Sinova, Libor Ċ mejkal and Anna Hellenes about the observation of time-reversal symmetry breaking in the band structure of altermagnetic RuO2 has been published in Science Advances.

They directly observe strong time-reversal symmetry breaking in the band structure of altermagnetic RuO2 by detecting magnetic circular dichroism in angle-resolved photoemission spectra. Their experimental results, supported by ab initio calculations, establish the microscopic electronic structure basis for a family of interesting phenomena and functionalities in fields ranging from topological matter to spintronics, which are based on the unconventional time-reversal symmetry breaking in altermagnets.

You can find the publication under Sci. Adv. 10, eadj4883 (2024).
