This study utilizes advanced quantum oscillation measurements to resolve the three-dimensional g-wave symmetry of altermagnetism in chromium antimonide (CrSb). By establishing a direct link between frequency spectra and magnetic order parameters, the research provides a high-resolution diagnostic tool for unconventional metallic magnets that challenges traditional classifications. This work advances fundamental understanding of spin textures in quantum materials, which is critical for developing next-generation spintronic devices and quantum sensors.
Quantum measurements resolve magnetism deep inside CrSb

Researchers used advanced quantum measurements to map the 3D, g-wave altermagnetic order parameter within the complex magnetic structure of CrSb.
Researchers at the University of Cambridge and Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf have mapped the internal magnetic structure of chromium antimonide (CrSb) with detail, revealing an altermagnetic order parameter. This unconventional magnetism, where spin orientations are non-degenerate around the Fermi surface, challenges traditional classifications of magnetic materials. The work demonstrates that magnetic quantum oscillation measurements provide a high-resolution, 3D understanding of the order parameter, establishing CrSb as a prototypical metallic altermagnet; the exchange splitting between up and down spins follows the profile of a real spherical harmonic, analogous to a g-orbital of the hydrogen atom. Magnetic quantum oscillation measurements have revealed the g-wave symmetry of the altermagnetic order…
