Systematic display of the spin splitting in band structures of representative altermagnetic crystals

Mesfin Eshete, Yujia Teng, Andrea Urru +4

In this work we demonstrate a novel approach to exhibit the unique spin splitting that is typical of collinear altermagnets. This approach is to plot band structures on Brillouin z…
