Topological orbital moments can arise in non-coplanar spin structures even in the absence of spin-orbit coupling and a net topological orbital magnetization occurs for the triple-Q state and for isolated skyrmions. For atomic-scale skyrmion…
Altermagnets constitute a class of collinear magnets with momentum-dependent spin splitting and vanishing net magnetization. Direct observation of the characteristic altermagnetic spin splitting, however, remains challenging. Indirect…
