Altermagnetism with Non-collinear Spins

Abstract

Altermagnetism is introduced as a category of magnetic states with vanishing net magnetic moment, and consists of collinear alternating (i.e., antiferromagnetic-like) spins and alternating variations of local structures around spins in such a way that the symmetry allows ferromagnetic behaviors such as anomalous Hall effect and magneto-optical Kerr effects. Altermagnets exhibiting ferromagnetic behaviors without any external perturbations (called type-I) turn out to belong to the ferromagnetic point group, and represent a form of weak ferromagnetic states. Other altermagnets (called type-II and type-III) can have ferromagnetic behaviors only with external perturbations, which conserve parity-time reversal (PT) symmetry. All types of altermagnets themselves have broken PT symmetry. The concept of altermagnetism can be extended to accommodate multiple spin and local-structure variations (thus, include non-collinear spins), and this extended form of altermagnetism offers an intriguing opportunity to leverage complementary advantages of both ferromagnetism and antiferromagnetism, and thus holds great promise for, for example, various spintronic applications.
