A spin-bond theory unifying non-relativistic spin splitting and emergent spin-orbit textures

Magnetic order with vanishing net magnetization can produce non-relativistic spin-split bands, broadly categorized into even-parity altermagnets and odd-parity \(p\)-wave magnets.

Magnetic order with vanishing net magnetization can produce non-relativistic spin-split bands, broadly categorized into even-parity altermagnets and odd-parity \(p\)-wave magnets. Here, we introduce a spin-bond theory that unifies these seemingly distinct phenomena into a single…
