Title: New physics in symmetry-breaking antiferromagnets Abstract: Central to the study of spin-related phenomena is the capability to create spin polarized states. The conventional way of creating spin polarization entails the involvement of net magnetization or spin-orbit coupling (SOC). The … Read more
