Altermagnets, which encompass a broad landscape of materials, are compensated collinear magnetic phases in which the antiparallel magnetic moments are related by a crystalline rotation. Here, we argue that collinear altermagnetic-like…

The Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) state, an unusual superconducting state, defies high magnetic fields beyond the Pauli paramagnetic limit. It exhibits a spatial modulation of the superconducting order parameter in real space and…
