Light-induced chiral altermagnets from conventional antiferromagnets
Altermagnets combine compensated collinear magnetic order with momentum-dependent nonrelativistic spin splitting, offering new opportunities for spintronic applications. Here, we propose a route to optically induce altermagnetism through coherent lattice control. Using symmetry analysis, we identify phonon distortions...
