Two-dimensional altermagnets: Superconductivity in a minimal microscopic model

B Brekke, A Brataas, A Sudbø - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
We propose a minimal toy model for a two-dimensional altermagnet. The model unravels
altermagnetic properties at a microscopic level. We find spin-split electron and …

Many-body effects on superconductivity mediated by double-magnon processes in altermagnets

K Mæland, B Brekke, A Sudbø - Physical Review B, 2024 - APS
Altermagnets exhibit a large electron spin splitting which can be understood as a result of
strong coupling between itinerant electrons and localized spins. We consider …

Interface probe for antiferromagnets using geometric curvature

T Salamone, M Skjærpe, HG Hugdal, M Amundsen… - Physical Review B, 2024 - APS
We propose that geometric curvature and torsion may be used to probe the quality of an
uncompensated antiferromagnetic interface, using the proximity effect. We study a helix of …
