GPK: Unconventional magnetism in spintronics: the emergence of altermagnetism and beyond


Tuesday, 4th of June, 16.00
(16.00 Coffee & Cake in the foyer, 16.30 talk & discussion)
Lecture Hall III

Antiferromagnetic spintronics has been a very active research area of condensed matter in recent years. Magnetic order was then also discovered in momentum space, which in turn led to the discovery of completely new magnetic phases beyound ferromegnetism and anti-ferromegnetism: Atermagnets.

Jairo Sinova from Univerity Mainz will cover in his talk the basic introductory view to altermagnetism and its consequences to spintronics as well as new emerging exchange driven phenomena akin to spin-orbit coupling effects, such as p-wave magnetism, emerging from the basic concepts that gave rise to the discovery of altermagnetism.
