Altermagnets combine vanishing net magnetization with nonrelativistic, momentum-dependent spin splitting, offering a new paradigm for spintronics. Spin-crystal symmetry coupling, namely spin-lattice locking, is the defining mechanism of…

The newly discovered altermagnets are unconventional collinear compensated magnetic systems, exhibiting even (d, g, or i-wave) spin-polarization order in the band structure, setting them apart from conventional collinear ferromagnets and…

Spin waves are collective perturbations in the orientation of the magnetic moments in magnetically ordered materials. Their rich phenomenology is intrinsically three-dimensional; however, the three-dimensional imaging of spin waves has so…

Spin-$s$ light dark boson particles can exhibit wave-like behavior, capable of forming long-lived, coherent, spatially localized structures known as solitons. This work considers the possibility that a light spin-2 particle might be part of…

Lifted Kramers spin-degeneracy has been among the central topics of condensed-matter physics since the dawn of the band theory of solids. It underpins established practical applications as well as current frontier research, ranging from…

Altermagnetism stands as a third type of collinear magnetic order, whose band structure combines a net zero magnetization with a non-relativistic spin-splitting caused by a broken time reversal symmetry. So far, the strategy to design…
