Revisiting the topological properties of XMg2Bi2 (X = Ca, Sr, Ba, Yb and Eu)
Antoni Facca, Xujia Gong, Amar Fakhredine +2
Density functional theory is known to underestimate band gaps in semiconductors and to over- estimate inverted band gaps, frequently exaggerating the predicted size of the topologi…
Magnetically tunable symmetry-enforced nodal lines producing huge anomalous Hall conductivity in altermagnetic -MnTe
Mathews Benny, Xujia Gong, Amar Fakhredine +21
Altermagnetic -MnTe exhibits huge anomalous Hall conductivity (AHC) up to room-temperature together with weak ferromagnetism arising from spin and orbital polarizations. We clar…
Effect of polar distortions on the linear and nonlinear anomalous Hall conductivity of altermagnetic -MnTe
Mathews Benny, Sahar Izadi Vishkayi, Amar Fakhredine +2
Altermagnetic -MnTe with Néel vector along the -axis exhibits a finite anomalous Hall conductivity (AHC) and weak ferromagnetism along the -axis. As already demonstrated i…
Symmetry-protected nodal planes and accidental nodal surfaces in mixed odd-even wave spin-momentum locking of relativistic altermagnets
Xujia Gong, Amar Fakhredine, Sahar Izadi Vishkayi +1
Non-relativistic spin--momentum locking in altermagnets exhibits an even number of nodal planes. In the relativistic limit, the number of nodal planes can be lowered by symmetry re…
Quantum anomalous Hall conductivity in altermagnets under applied magnetic field
Meysam Bagheri Tagani, Amar Fakhredine, Carmine Autieri
We investigate the emergence of quantum anomalous Hall conductivity in a two-dimensional -wave altermagnet on a Lieb lattice under an external magnetic field. Altermagnetic orde…
Interplay between Relativistic Spin-Momentum Locking and Breaking of Inversion Symmetry: conditions for p-wave magnetism
Amar Fakhredine, Giuseppe Cuono, Jan Skolimowski +2
We investigate the interplay between relativistic spin-momentum locking arising from altermagnetism and various forms of inversion symmetry breaking. Depending on the symmetry brea…
