Unconventional compensated magnetic material LaMn${}_2$SbO${}_6$

Abstract

Unconventional magnetism including altermagnetism and unconventional compensated magnetism, characterized by its duality of real-space antiferromagnetic alignment and momentum-space spin splitting, has garnered widespread attention. While altermagnetism has been extensively studied, research on unconventional compensated magnetism remains very rare. In particular, unconventional compensated magnetic materials are only theoretically predicted and have not yet been synthesized experimentally. In this study, based on symmetry analysis and the first-principles electronic structure calculations, we predict that LaMn${}_2$SbO${}_6$ is a unconventional compensated magnetic semiconductor. Given that the Mn ions at opposite spin lattice cannot be connected by any symmetry, the spin splitting in LaMn${}_2$SbO${}_6$ is isotropic. More importantly, LaMn${}_2$SbO${}_6$ has already been synthesized experimentally, and its magnetic structure has been confirmed by neutron scattering experiments. Therefore, LaMn${}_2$SbO${}_6$ serves as an excellent material platform for investigating the novel physical properties of unconventional compensated magnetic materials.
