Experimental studies of altermagnetic materials

SPICE Workshop on Altermagnetism: Emerging Opportunities in a New Magnetic Phase, May 9th - 11th 2023

Nirmal J. Ghimire

The new concept of altermagnetism brings a new excitement in the materials landscape of antiferromagnetic spintronics. An unambiguous experimental realization remains challenging not just due to the limited number of the candidate materials, but also due to strict requirement for its manifestation in magnetotransport measurements. In this talk we will present our recent effort in the synthesis and magnetotransport studies of new altermagnetic materials. We will primarily focus on the study of MnTe and CrSb.
