- ItemSaturation of the anomalous Hall effect at high magnetic fields in altermagnetic RuO2(Melville, NY : AIP Publ., 2023) Tschirner, Teresa; Keßler, Philipp; Gonzalez Betancourt, Ruben Dario; Kotte, Tommy; Kriegner, Dominik; Büchner, Bernd; Dufouleur, Joseph; Kamp, Martin; Jovic, Vedran; Smejkal, Libor; Sinova, Jairo; Claessen, Ralph; Jungwirth, Tomas; Moser, Simon; Reichlova, Helena; Veyrat, LouisObservations of the anomalous Hall effect in RuO2 and MnTe have demonstrated unconventional time-reversal symmetry breaking in the electronic structure of a recently identified new class of compensated collinear magnets, dubbed altermagnets. While in MnTe, the unconventional anomalous Hall signal accompanied by a vanishing magnetization is observable at remanence, the anomalous Hall effect in RuO2 is excluded by symmetry for the Néel vector pointing along the zero-field [001] easy-axis. Guided by a symmetry analysis and ab initio calculations, a field-induced reorientation of the Néel vector from the easy-axis toward the [110] hard-axis was used to demonstrate the anomalous Hall signal in this altermagnet. We confirm the existence of an anomalous Hall effect in our RuO2 thin-film samples, whose set of magnetic and magneto-transport characteristics is consistent with the earlier report. By performing our measurements at extreme magnetic fields up to 68 T, we reach saturation of the anomalous Hall signal at a field Hc ≃ 55 T that was inaccessible in earlier studies but is consistent with the expected Néel-vector reorientation field.
- ItemRole of topology in compensated magnetic systems(Melville, NY : AIP Publ., 2024) Reichlova, Helena; Kriegner, Dominik; Mook, Alexander; Althammer, Matthias; Thomas, AndyTopology plays a crucial and multifaceted role in solid state physics, leading to a remarkable array of newly investigated materials and phenomena. In this Perspective, we provide a brief summary of well-established model materials with a particular focus on compensated magnets and highlight key phenomena that emerge due to the influence of topology in these systems. The overview covers various magneto-transport phenomena, with a particular focus on the extensively investigated anomalous magneto-transport effects. Furthermore, we look into the significance of topology in understanding elementary magnetic excitations, namely magnons, where the role of topology gained considerable attention from both theoretical and experimental perspectives. Since electrons and magnons carry energy, we explore the implications of topology in combined heat and spin transport experiments in compensated magnetic systems. At the end of each section, we highlight intriguing unanswered questions in this research direction. To finally conclude, we offer our perspective on what could be the next advancements regarding the interaction between compensated magnetism and topology.
- ItemAdvances in magneto-ionic materials and perspectives for their application(College Park, MD : American Institute of Physics, 2021) Nichterwitz, M.; Honnali Sudheendra, S.; Kutuzau, M.; Guo, S.; Zehner, J.; Nielsch, K.; Leistner, K.The possibility of tuning magnetic material properties by ionic means is exciting both for basic science and, especially in view of the excellentenergy efficiency and room temperature operation, for potential applications. In this perspective, we shortly introduce the functionality ofmagneto-ionic materials and focus on important recent advances in this field. We present a comparative overview of state-of-the-art magneto-ionic materials considering the achieved magnetoelectric voltage coefficients for magnetization and coercivity and the demonstrated timescales for magneto-ionic switching. Furthermore, the application perspectives of magneto-ionic materials in data storage and computing,magnetic actuation, and sensing are evaluated. Finally, we propose potential research directions to push this field forward and tackle thechallenges related to future applications
