Quantum Mechanism of Piezomagnetism in Higher-Spin Altermagnets

We investigate piezomagnetism in higher-spin altermagnets with easy-plane single-ion anisotropy using a flavor-wave approach.

We investigate piezomagnetism in higher-spin altermagnets with easy-plane single-ion anisotropy using a flavor-wave approach. We show that quantum fluctuations of higher-spin collective modes provide a microscopic origin of the piezomagnetic response. For integer spins, the…
