By comparing femtosecond laser pulse induced ferro- and antiferromagnetic dynamics in one and the same material - metallic dysprosium - we show both to behave fundamentally different. Antiferromagnetic order is considerably faster and much…

Altermagnetism is a compensated magnetic phase characterized by zero net magnetization and exchange-driven spin splitting. However, identifying altermagnets among collinear antiferromagnets usually requires full magnetic-space-group or…

The notion of a simple ordered state implies homogeneity. If the order is established by a broken symmetry, elementary Landau theory of phase transitions shows that only one symmetry mode describes this state. Precisely at points of phase…
