> In 2024, researchers led by Atasi Chakraborty, a member of Šmejkal’s research group, demonstrated that applying compressive strain to rhenium dioxide – long known to be an antiferromagnet – triggers a transition into an altermagnetic state.
> What’s more, a trio of researchers at the Beijing Institute of Technology in China realised that you can also create the right internal magnetic disturbances by stacking an antiferromagnet between layers of a different material, like a sandwich.
Does anyone else find it odd that they do not name the authors of the paper[0] that showed the second discovery? (Yichen Liu, Junxi Yu, and Cheng-Cheng Liu, for the record).
