The generation of time-reversal-odd spin-current in metallic altermagnets has attracted considerable interest in spintronics. However, producing pure spin-current in insulating materials remains both challenging and desirable, as insulating…
Altermagnets have been identified as the third category of magnetic materials, exhibiting momentum-dependent spin splitting characterized by even powers of momentum. In this study, we show that when subjected to elliptically polarized…
The spin photocurrents, direct currents induced by light, hold great promise for introducing new elements to spintronics. However, a general theory for spin photocurrents in real materials which is applicable to systems with spin-orbit…
Altermagnets represent a novel category of magnetic materials characterized by zero net magnetization yet featuring spin-split band structures, and they demonstrate distinctive orbital-spin locking phenomena. Commencing from the minimal…
In this paper we show that it is possible to switch the spin polarization of the photocurrent signal obtained from a single self-assembled quantum dot photodiode under the effect of elliptically polarized light by just increasing the light…
The generation of photocurrent in condensed matter is of main interest for photovoltaic and optoelectronic applications. Shift current, a nonlinear photoresponse, has attracted recent intensive attention as a dominant player of bulk…
Altermagnets are a new class of magnetic materials that are promising for spintronics technology. Here it is shown that in altermagnets, the circular dichroism (CD) in resonant photoelectron diffraction (RPED) contains a time-reversal odd…

A linearly polarized light normally incident on a semiconductor quantum well with spin-orbit coupling may generate pure spin current via direct interband optical transition. An electric photocurrent can be extracted from the pure spin…
Chiral molecular structures enable time-odd pseudotensor that controls correlations between photoelectron spin and molecular orientation in photoionization (arXiv:2505.22433). We show that chiral structures also support time-even…
Spin textures are ubiquitous in antiferromagnets, yet their consequences for altermagnets remain largely unexplored. We show that smooth spatial variations of the N\'eel order act on itinerant electrons as emergent gauge fields, producing…
A mechanism is proposed based on the Kubo formula to generate a spin-polarized magneto-optical current of Dirac electrons in solids which have strong spin-orbit interactions such as bismuth. The ac current response functions are calculated…

Recently discovered altermagnets provide a physical realization of an unconventional compensated magnetic phases with a higher partial-wave type of ordering, reminiscent of unconventional superfluid phases. Their stability under normal…
Electron systems that possess light-like dispersion relations or the conical Dirac spectrum, such as graphene and bismuth, have recently been shown to harbor unusual collective states in high magnetic fields. Such states are possible…
It is shown that the flow of electric current in an altermagnet results in the formation of a homogeneous electron spin orientation in the sample. The spin of the conduction electrons generated in altermagnets with $d$-wave spin-momentum…
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…
All-optical generation of pure spin current -- the flow of spin in the absence of a corresponding charge flow -- relies on a symmetry based compensation of valley charge. The 2d $d$-wave altermagnets, ideal spintronics materials due to a…
