Raman Circular Dichroism and Quantum Geometry of Chiral Quantum Spin Liquids

Eduard Koller, Valentin Leeb, Natalia B. Perkins +1

We show that the quantum geometry of fractionalized spin excitations in Mott-insulating quantum spin liquids (QSL) gives rise to a finite Raman circular dichroism (RCD) signal. We…

Topologically Protected Surface Altermagnetism on Antiferromagnets

Valentin Leeb, Peru d'Ornellas, Fernando de Juan +1

Altermagnetism (AM) and its associated spin-transport phenomena are typically linked to spin-split electronic band structures in bulk materials. However, the crystal surface has a…

Collinear -wave magnetism and hidden orbital ferrimagnetism

Valentin Leeb, Johannes Knolle

In the absence of spin-orbit coupling, collinear magnets are classified as even-wave magnets, i.e., either ferro-, antiferro-, or altermagnets. It is based on the belief that colli…

Altermagnetism Without Crystal Symmetry

Peru d'Ornellas, Valentin Leeb, Adolfo G. Grushin +1

Altermagnetism is a collinear magnetic order in which opposite spin species are exchanged under a real-space rotation. Hence, the search for physical realizations has focussed on c…

Exploring d-Wave Magnetism in Cuprates from Oxygen Moments

Ying Li, Valentin Leeb, Krzysztof Wohlfeld +2

The antiferromagnetic parent phase of high-T cuprates has been established as a Néel state of copper moments, but early work pointed out the important role of ligand oxygen or…

A Field Guide to non-Onsager Quantum Oscillations in Metals

Valentin Leeb, Nico Huber, Christian Pfleiderer +2

Quantum oscillation (QO) measurements constitute a powerful method to measure the Fermi surface (FS) properties of metals. The observation of QOs is usually taken as strong evidenc…
