Altermagnetism has so far mainly been understood in its even- and odd-parity forms. We show that collinear antiferromagnets with zero net magnetization can also host mixed-parity spin splitting, namely neither purely even nor purely odd in…

We study the penetration of an external magnetic field into a superconductor with collinear $d$-wave altermagnetic order. We demonstrate that instead of circular Abrikosov vortices, the magnetic field generates elliptical vortices with…

Magnetic switching in antiferromagnets relies on Neel spin orbit torque (NSOT), which originates from a current-induced staggered spin polarization of itinerant electrons. In collinear antiferromagnets, such a response requires the spin…

Altermagnets feature antiparallel spin sublattices with $d$-, $g$-, or $i$-wave spin order, yielding nonrelativistic spin splitting without net magnetization. We show that embedding a two-dimensional $d$-wave altermagnet in a driven optical…

Spin current generation through non-relativistic spin splittings, found in uncompensated magnets and d-wave altermagnets, is desirable for low-power spintronics. Such spin currents, however, are symmetry forbidden in conventional collinear…

Altermagnetism represents a recently established class of collinear magnetism that combines zero net magnetization with momentum-dependent spin polarization, enabled by symmetry constraints rather than spin-orbit coupling. This distinctive…

Magnon band structures in altermagnets are characterized by an energy splitting of modes with opposite chirality, even in the absence of applied external fields and relativistic effects, due to an anisotropy in the Heisenberg exchange…

Altermagnets constitute a new class of magnetic materials that combine properties previously thought to be exclusive to either antiferromagnets or ferromagnets, and have unique properties of their own. In particular, a combination of…

The emergence of spin-polarized currents in nonrelativistic platforms continues to attract significant interest in spintronics. Here we demonstrate that a noncollinear kagome antiferromagnet can generate an alternating out-of-plane spin…
