Complete Hierarchy of Nonrelativistic Odd-Parity Spin Splitting in Collinear Magnets

Momentum-dependent nonrelativistic spin splitting provides a symmetry fingerprint of collinear magnets and can govern unconventional electronic, magnonic, and transport phenomena. Whereas even-parity $s$-, $d$-, $g$-, and $i$-wave splittings in collinear magnets have been extensively studied, odd-parity counterparts remain unexplored beyond the $p$-wave and $f$-wave classes. Here, using group theory, we establish the complete classification of odd-parity spin splitting in collinear magnets. We show that, in addition to the $p$-wave and $f$-wave forms, $h$- and $k$-wave splittings with $\ell=5$ and $7$ are allowed, while $m$-wave splitting with $\ell=9$ constitutes the upper bound. We derive a complete mapping from crystallographic point-group irreducible representations to the lowest-order odd-parity basis functions and formulate the coupling rule between a symmetry-breaking axial field and the parent N\'eel order that selects the induced odd-parity class. We further construct minimal lattice models that realize $h$-, $k$-, and $m$-wave splitting. Guided by this classification, we screen the MAGNDATA database and show that circularly polarized light can drive the $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric antiferromagnets Fe$_2$TeO$_6$ and MgFe$_6$Ge$_6$ into $h$-wave and $k$-wave phases, respectively, exhibiting the hallmark spin splittings in both electronic bands and magnon spectra. Symmetry analysis and Berry-curvature calculations show that collinear odd-parity magnets of both $h$- and $k$-wave allow an anomalous Hall response, whereas the $m$-wave class forbids it. Together, these results complete the partial-wave hierarchy of odd-parity spin splitting in collinear magnets and establish symmetry criteria for anomalous transport in the high-partial-wave classes.
