Magnetism typically arises from the joint effect of Fermi statistics and repulsive Coulomb interactions, which favors ground states with non-zero electron spin. As a result, controlling spin magnetism with electric fields---a longstanding…

Altermagnetism has so far been associated with compensated magnetic moments carried by atoms. Here we introduce Stoner instability induced interstitial-electron altermagnetism, a distinct mechanism in which altermagnetic order is carried…
