Altermagnets, magnetic materials with zero magnetization and spin-split band structure, have gained tremendous attention recently for their rich physics and potential applications. Here, we report on a microscopic tight-binding model that…
The primary requirement for achieving spin-selective electron transfer in a nanojunction possessing a magnetic system with zero net magnetization is to break the symmetry between the up and down spin sub-Hamiltonians. Circumventing the…
We investigate the impact of s-wave spin-singlet pairing on antiferromagnetic semimetals with Dirac points or nodal loops at the Fermi level. The electron pairing is generally shown to convert the semimetal into a tunable nodal…
We address spin dependent transport through an array of diamonds in the presence of Rashba spin-orbit (SO) interaction where each diamond plaquette is penetrated by an Aharonov-Bohm (AB) flux $\phi$. The diamond chain is attached…
We propose a concept of half-semiconductor antiferromagnets in which both spin-polarized valence and conduction bands belong to the same spin channel with completely compensated spontaneous magnetization. Using density functional theory…
This work explores spin filtration in a helical magnetic system within a tight-binding framework, where neighboring magnetic moments are aligned antiparallel. The helix experiences a slowly-varying diagonal disorder, following a cosine…
It is predicted that certain atomically ordered interfaces between some ferromagnetic metals (F) and semiconductors (S) should act as ideal spin filters that transmit electrons only from the majority spin bands or only from the minority…
Spin-driven multiferroics exhibit strong magnetoelectric coupling, with notable polarization changes under a magnetic field, but these effects are usually limited to high-Z magnetic insulators with low electronic polarization. In this work,…
We present the exact solution of a one-dimensional model of a spin-gapped correlated electron system with hybridization impurities exhibiting both magnetic and mixed-valence properties. The host supports superconducting fluctuations, with a…
Antiferromagnets naturally exhibit three obvious advantages over ferromagnets for memory device applications: insensitivity to external magnetic fields, much faster spin dynamics (~THz) and higher packing density due to the absence of any…
Control and detection of spin order in ferromagnets is the main principle allowing storing and reading of magnetic information in nowadays technology. The large class of antiferromagnets, on the other hand, is less utilized, despite its…
We present a theoretical study, based on density functional theory and tight binding modeling, of the electronic structure and spin transport properties of silicon nanoparticles with adsorbed bismuth atoms. We find the bismuth atoms to form…
The antiferromagnetic (AFM) materials are robust to external magnetic perturbation due to missing any net magnetic moment. In general, the spin splitting in the band structures disappears in these antiferromagnets. However, the…
The spin filtering effect, distinct decaying lengths experienced by oppositely spin-polarized electrons in a magnetic barrier, generally occurs in ferromagnetic (FM) insulators or semiconductors. With the rise of altermagnetic (ALM)…
Altermagnetism is a subclass of antiferromagnetism that features spin-polarized electron bands of a non-relativistic origin despite the absence of a net magnetiation in the material. We here theoretically study spin pumping from an…
Half-metals, featuring ideal 100\% spin polarization, are widely regarded as key materials for spintronic and quantum technologies; however, the half-metallic state is intrinsically fragile, as it relies on a delicate balance of exchange…
Spin-split antiferromagnets have significance for antiferromagnetic (AFM) spintronics due to their momentum dependent spin polarization which can be exploited for the control and detection of the AFM order parameter. Here, we explore the…
We analyze a metal-dielectric structure composed of a silicon nanoparticle coupled to a stack of split-ring resonators, and reveal the possibility of optically-induced antiferromagnetic response of such a hybrid meta-molecule with a…
It is commonly believed that in typical collinear antiferromagnets, with no net magnetization, the energy bands are spin-(Kramers-degenerate. The opposite case is usually associated with a global time-reversal symmetry breaking (e.g., via…
Antiferromagnetic materials are magnetic inside, however, the direction of their ordered microscopic moments alternates between individual atomic sites. The resulting zero net magnetic moment makes magnetism in antiferromagnets invisible on…
