Correlations and altermagnetism in elastic tunable electronic systems (B05)

• Subject Area: Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics
• Term: since 2020
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 422213477

The project will explore the effects of correlations on altermagnetic phases in selected weakly to strongly correlated materials by combining density functional theory and many-body methods such as dynamical mean field theory, two-particle self-consistent approach and variational Monte Carlo. We will also study the sensitivity of correlated altermagnets to strain fields and evaluate magneto-optical response functions, spin and orbital susceptibilities, and spectral functions and compare with experimental observations.
