Perspective on Metallic Antiferromagnets

Understand

Antiferromagnet materials have recently gained renewed interest due to their possible use in spintronics technologies, where spin transport is the foundation of their functionalities.

• In that respect metallic antiferromagnets are of particular interest, since they enable complex interplays between electronic charge transport, spin, optical, and magnetization dynamics.
• Here we review phenomena where the metallic conductivity provides unique perspectives for the practical use and fundamental properties of antiferromagnetic materials.
