摘要:

理想阿尔特磁体是一类具有非相对论性自旋分裂带的列线性、晶体对称性强制完全补偿磁体,在这种系统中, Berry 曲率对磁光效应(MOEs)的贡献被有效时间反演对称性严格禁止。本文表明,在此类系统中,MOEs 仅由量子度量诱导,并且在现实中的阿尔特磁体中通常由它主导。我们将 Berry 曲率诱导的 MOEs 称为传统 MOEs,将量子度量主导的 MOEs 称为非常规 MOEs。我们推导出包含 Berry 曲率和量子度量的通用公式,用于阿尔特磁体中非常规 MOEs 的计算,从而能够定量评估它们各自的贡献。通过对称性分析,我们证明理想阿尔特磁体仅能表现出非常规 MOEs。利用三维规范阿尔特磁体 MnTe 和新兴的二维双层扭曲阿尔特磁体 CrSBr 作为示例,我们展示了非常规 MOEs 在阿尔特磁体中的普遍性。我们的结果确立了阿尔特磁体作为量子度量驱动光学现象的自然平台,大大扩展了 MOEs 的范围,并提供了可以在未来实验研究中验证的具体预测。

英文摘要:

The ideal altermagnets are a class of collinear, crystal-symmetry-enforced fully compensated magnets with nonrelativistic spin-split bands, in which contributions from Berry curvature to magneto-optical effects (MOEs) are strictly forbidden by an effective time-reversal symmetry. Here we show that, in such systems, MOEs are exclusively induced by the quantum metric and, in realistic altermagnets, are typically dominated by it. We refer to Berry-curvature-induced MOEs as conventional MOEs and to quantum-metric-dominated MOEs as unconventional MOEs. We derive general formulas that incorporate both Berry curvature and quantum metric for unconventional MOEs in altermagnets, enabling a quantitative evaluation of their respective contributions. Through symmetry analysis, we prove that ideal altermagnets are constrained to exhibit only unconventional MOEs. Using the three-dimensional canonical altermagnet MnTe and the emerging two-dimensional bilayer twisted altermagnet CrSBr as illustrative examples, we demonstrate that unconventional MOEs are prevalent in altermagnets. Our results establish altermagnets as a natural platform for quantum-metric-driven optical phenomena, substantially broadening the scope of MOEs and providing concrete predictions that can be tested in future experimental studies.
