Fourth-order and six-order nonlinear spin current diode in $h$-wave and $j$-wave odd-parity magnets
Abstract
Higher-order symmetric -wave magnets consist of two groups. One includes -wave, -wave and -wave altermagnets, while the other includes -wave and -wave odd-parity magnets. Recently, the possibility of -wave magnets has been discussed. Motivated by this development, we systematically construct an -wave magnet with nodes in three dimensions from an -wave magnet with nodes in two dimensions by means of a dimensional extension, where for , respectively. Based on this method, we predict -wave magnets in three dimensions. Then, we argue how to identify each of these -wave magnets experimentally. We show that the -wave magnet is completely identified by measuring the nonlinear spin currents. In particular, we predict that there are no spin currents other than the fourth-order ones such as in -wave odd-parity magnets in three dimensions and the sixth-order ones such as in -wave odd-parity magnets in three dimensions. They function as spin-current diodes because the spin current exhibits unidirectional flow independent of the applied electric field.
