Mar 13, 2024 (Nanowerk Information) Altermagnets signify a newly acknowledged class of supplies in magnetism that would allow novel purposes in spin-based electronics. Their magnetically ordered state consists of an antiparallel association of microscopic magnetic moments, so-called spins, as in antiferromagnets. In distinction to antiferromagnetism, nevertheless, the altermagnetic state with zero net-magnetization allows the era
