Switchable Altermagnetism via Spin-Induced Improper Polarization
Zhihao Dai, Michele Reticcioli, Wei Ren +2
Enabling reversible spin-splitting switching in stray-field-free altermagnets is promising for spintronic applications, but currently limited to a narrow class of polar materials.…
Coupling Chirality, Polar Order, and Altermagnetic Spin Splitting in a Hybrid Manganese Chloride
Li Liang, Ding Ning, Mingqiang Gu +2
Hybrid manganese halides enable the coexistence of molecular chirality, polar order, and magnetic exchange within a single lattice. Here, we combine first-principles calculations w…
Weak Polar Optical Phonon Scattering Decouples Electron and Phonon Transport in Layered Thermoelectric Materials
Zhonghao Xia, Michele Reticcioli, Yateng Wang +3
High-performance thermoelectric (TE) materials are crucial for efficient waste-heat recovery and solid-state cooling technologies. A persistent challenge in TE materials design ari…
Mixed Organic Cation in Chiral Two-Dimensional Organic-Inorganic Hybrid Metal Halides: An ab-initio Study of Nonlinear Optical (NLO) Properties
Xiyue Cheng, S. Muthukrishnan, Hanxiang Mi +4
The mixing of organic cations represents yet another direction to explore in the field of chiral organic-inorganic hybrid metal halides (OIHMH). Here, we perform structural optimiz…
Multiferroic nematic d-wave altermagnetism driven by orbital-order on the honeycomb lattice
Luigi Camerano, Adolfo O. Fumega, Jose L. Lado +2
Altermagnets provide promising platforms for unconventional magnetism, whose controllability would enable a whole new generation of spintronic devices. While a variety of bulk alte…
Ferroelectric switchable altermagnetism
Mingqiang Gu, Yuntian Liu, Haiyuan Zhu +5
We propose a novel ferroelectric switchable altermagnetism effect, the reversal of ferroelectric polarization is coupled to the switching of altermagnetic spin splitting. We demons…
