MA 21: Phd Focus Session: Altermagnets: Foundations and Experimental Evidence

Wednesday, March 20, 2024, 09:30–13:15, H 1058

Altermagnetism, a new type of collinear magnetism, is emerging as a platform to explore a wide array of physics and applications, from topology and superconductivity to dissipationless currents, ultrafast dynamics, efficient charge-to-spin conversion, and giant magnetoresistance. Altermagnets are magnetically compensated and collinear, with opposite magnetic moments residing on crystal-sublattices connected by rotation or mirror symmetries, which, notably, makes their spin symmetries mutually exclusive from collinear ferromagnets and antiferromagnets. Remarkably, as a consequence, particles such as electrons moving inside altermagnets can be strongly spin-polarized and spin-split, even though the magnetism overall compensates. The unconventional splitting sets altermagnets apart as intriguing spin-active material alternatives to conventional ferromagnets and materials with large spin-orbit coupling. In this session, we explore altermagnetism and its potential properties in various areas of solid-state physics by fostering discussion between communities and between young and experienced scientists. Starting from a pedagogical introduction to the field, we will uncover spectroscopic evidence of the spin-polarized electrons, magnetotransport, emerging phenomena in superconductor hybrid systems, and octupolar order, positioning altermagnetism as a new paradigm for addressing diverse applied and fundamental challenges in solid-state research.
