Modern research areas, ranging from topological condensed matter and dissipationless quantum transport to spintronics, are built on a magnetic symmetry group theory which entangles magnetism and relativistic spin-orbit coupling. Here we return to the non-relativistic foundations of collinear magnetism and delimit Type-I spin groups containing no spin-rotation symmetry element, Type-II with a spin-rotation symmetry, and Type-III with symmetry elements combining spin and crystal rotations. We show that they describe, respectively, ferromagnets with spin-polarized electron bands, antiferromagnets with spin-degenerate bands, and a third class with alternating spin-polarizations in locked momentum and crystal space. We refer to the third class as altermagnets and identify their topological invariants which have a form of an even-integer spin winding number in the momentum space. Our band structure analysis reveals a spin splitting by an electrostatic crystal field as a unique spectroscopy signature of altermagnetism. We find altermagnetic material candidates ranging from high Neel temperature insulators and metals to a parent cuprate of high-temperature superconductivity.

The spin rotations and lattice rotations are locked in the Shubnikov magnetic space groups in describing magnetically ordered materials. However, real materials may contain symmetry elements whose spin and lattice operations are partially unlocked. T
hese groups are called spin space groups and may give rise to new band structures for itinerant electrons. In the present work, we focus on potential magnetic materials in which the intrinsic electronic spin-orbit coupling is negligible. We theoretically predict many new fermionic quasiparticles at the high symmetry points (HSPs) or high symmetry lines (HSLs) in the Brillouin zone (BZ), which can neither be realized in non-magnetic systems nor in magnetic ones with Shubnikov magnetic space group symmetries. These new quasiparticles are characterized by the symmetry invariants of the little co-group, which are more essential than the representations (Reps) themselves. We also provide the dispersion around the high-symmetry points/lines, and predict a large class of nodal-point or nodal-line semimetals.
We study spin-wave transport in a microstructured Ni81Fe19 waveguide exhibiting broken translational symmetry. We observe the conversion of a beam profile composed of symmetric spin-wave width modes with odd numbers of antinodes n=1,3,... into a mixe
d set of symmetric and asymmetric modes. Due to the spatial homogeneity of the exciting field along the used microstrip antenna, quantized spin-wave modes with an even number n of antinodes across the stripes width cannot be directly excited. We show that a break in translational symmetry may result in a partial conversion of even spin-wave waveguide modes
We report room temperature long-distance spin transport of magnons in antiferromagnetic thin film hematite doped with Zn. The additional dopants significantly alter the magnetic anisotropies, resulting in a complex equilibrium spin structure that is
capable of efficiently transporting spin angular momentum at room temperature without the need for a well-defined, pure easy-axis or easy-plane anisotropy. We find intrinsic magnon spin-diffusion lengths of up to 1.5 {mu}m, and magnetic domain governed decay lengths of 175 nm for the low frequency magnons, through electrical transport measurements demonstrating that the introduction of non-magnetic dopants does not strongly reduce the transport length scale showing that the magnetic damping of hematite is not significantly increased. We observe a complex field dependence of the non-local signal independent of the magnetic state visible in the local magnetoresistance and direct magnetic imaging of the antiferromagnetic domain structure. We explain our results in terms of a varying and applied-field-dependent ellipticity of the magnon modes reaching the detector electrode allowing us to tune the spin transport.
Time-reversal (T) symmetry breaking is a fundamental physics concept underpinning a broad science and technology area, including topological magnets, axion physics, dissipationless Hall currents, or spintronic memories. A best known conventional mode
l of macroscopic T-symmetry breaking is a ferromagnetic order of itinerant Bloch electrons with an isotropic spin interaction in momentum space. Anisotropic electron interactions, on the other hand, have been a domain of correlated quantum phases, such as the T-invariant nematics or unconventional superconductors. Here we report discovery of a broken-T phase of itinerant Bloch electrons with an unconventional anisotropic spin-momentum interaction, whose staggered nature leads to the formation of two ferromagnetic-like valleys in the momentum space with opposite spin splittings. We describe qualitatively the effect by deriving a non-relativistic single-particle Hamiltonian model. Next, we identify the unconventional staggered spin-momentum interaction by first-principles electronic structure calculations in a four-sublattice antiferromagnet Mn5Si3 with a collinear checkerboard magnetic order. We show that the staggered spin-momentum interaction is set by nonrelativistic spin-symmetries which were previously omitted in relativistic physics classifications of spin interactions and topological quasiparticles. Our measurements of a spontaneous Hall effect in epilayers of antiferromagnetic Mn5Si3 with vanishing magnetization are consistent with our theory predictions. Bloch electrons with the unconventional staggered spin interaction, compatible with abundant low atomic-number materials, strong spin-coherence, and collinear antiferromagnetic order open unparalleled possibilities for realizing T-symmetry broken spin and topological quantum phases.
In this paper, a 3-terminal spin-transfer torque nano-oscillator (STNO) is studied using the concurrent spin injection of a spin-polarized tunneling current and a spin Hall current exciting the free layer into dynamic regimes beyond what is achieved
by each individual mechanism. The pure spin injection is capable of inducing oscillations in the absence of charge currents effectively reducing the critical tunneling current to zero. This reduction of the critical charge currents can improve the endurance of both STNOs and non-volatile magnetic memories (MRAM) devices. It is shown that the system response can be described in terms of an injected spin current density $J_s$ which results from the contribution of both spin injection mechanisms, with the tunneling current polarization $p$ and the spin Hall angle $theta$ acting as key parameters determining the efficiency of each injection mechanism. The experimental data exhibits an excellent agreement with this model which can be used to quantitatively predict the critical points ($J_s = -2.26pm 0.09 times 10^9 hbar/e$ A/m$^2$) and the oscillation amplitude as a function of the input currents. In addition, the fitting of the data also allows an independent confirmation of the values estimated for the spin Hall angle and tunneling current polarization as well as the extraction of the damping $alpha = 0.01$ and non-linear damping $Q = 3.8pm 0.3$ parameters.
