Altermagnets - a new kind of magnetic material
A team of scientists led by physics professor Dr. Jairo Sinova has recently discovered evidence for a completely new class of magnetism that exhibits characteristics of both conventional types, ferromagnetism and antiferromagnetism.
The research results were published in the prestigious journal Nature: "Altermagnetic lifting of Kramers spin degeneracy", doi: 10.1038/s41586-023-06907-7
The equally renowned journal Science devoted a detailed article to the research into altermagnetism: "Researchers discover new kind of magnetism", doi: 10.1126/science.zfm15wx
Another publication on this research topic in The Economist reflects the broad interest within the scientific community: "Scientists have found a new kind of magnetic material"
