Zero-field finite-momentum and field-induced superconductivity in altermagnets — •Debmalya Chakraborty and Annica M. Black-Schaffer — Department of Physics and Astronomy, Uppsala University, Box 516, S-751 20 Uppsala, Sweden

We explore the possibilities for spin-singlet superconductivity in newly discovered altermagnets. Investigating d-wave altermagnets, we show that finite-momentum superconductivity can easily emerge in altermagnets even though they have no net magnetization, when the superconducting order parameter also has d-wave symmetry with nodes coinciding with the altermagnet nodes. Additionally, we find a rich phase diagram when both altermagnetism and an external magnetic field are considered, including superconductivity appearing at high magnetic fields from a parent zero-field normal state.
