Abstract

Higher-order symmetric XX-wave magnets consist of two groups. One includes dd-wave, gg-wave and ii-wave altermagnets, while the other includes pp-wave and ff-wave odd-parity magnets. Recently, the possibility of hh-wave magnets has been discussed. Motivated by this development, we systematically construct an XX-wave magnet with (NX+1)\left( N_{X}+1\right) nodes in three dimensions from an XX-wave magnet with NXN_{X} nodes in two dimensions by means of a dimensional extension, where NX=1,2,3,4,6N_X=1,2,3,4,6 for X=p,d,f,g,iX=p,d,f,g,i, respectively. Based on this method, we predict jj-wave magnets in three dimensions. Then, we argue how to identify each of these XX-wave magnets experimentally. We show that the XX-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 σspinx3y;z\sigma _{\text{spin}}^{x^{3}y;z} in hh-wave odd-parity magnets in three dimensions and the sixth-order ones such as σspinx5y;z\sigma _{\text{spin}}^{x^{5}y;z} in jj-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.
