Generation of tilted spin-current by the collinear antiferromagnet RuO2 — •Arnab Bose — Johannes Gutenberg Universität, Mainz, Germany

Recently a new type of magnetic material is theoretically proposed, referred to as *altermagnet* which is a collinear antiferromagnet in real space although hosting the spin-split bands in the momentum space that allows it to exhibit the properties of ferromagnet depending upon the direction of the current flow with respect to the crystal axis [1,2]. We report the first experimental evidence of strongly crystal axis-dependent unconventional transverse spin-current generation by the altermagnet RuO2 [3] arising from the novel spin-split bands as theoretically predicted [1]. This unconventional tilted spin-current is the key to the implementation of high-density nonvolatile magnetic memories.
