Title: Pair Density Waves and Supercurrent Diode Effect in Altermagnets
Abstract:
Metallic altermagnets are unusual collinear magnets that feature zero net magnetization with momentum-dependent spin splitting [1,2]. In our recent work [3], we show that this spin splitting can induce pair density wave states even in the absence of external magnetic fields.
Focusing on BCS-type attractive interactions, we find the stabilization of symmetrically distinct pair density wave states depending on the chemical potential. These states include Fulde-Ferrell and Fulde-Ferrell* states, both of which break inversion symmetry [4]. We investigate the supercurrent properties and discover non-reciprocal supercurrents for both states with distinct spatial dependencies. We propose that the supercurrent diode effect [5] can serve as an experimental tool for distinguishing between different pair density waves in metallic altermagnets and discuss the relation to material candidates.[1] Šmejkal, Libor, Jairo Sinova, and Tomas Jungwirth.
