Description
Traditionally, antiferromagnetism is a type of commensurate magnetic ordering, exhibiting Kramer's degenerate bands. Recently, it was discovered that symmetry could enforce a spin splitting of the bands. Such magnetic orders can be categorised into altermagnets with even parity spin splitting and odd-parity magnets, sometimes called antialtermagnets. In my thesis, I calculate the local spin-resolved density of states around an impurity, as well as its quasi-particle interference. This is an experimental signature that exhibits the same symmetries as the magnetic order, which is measured using spin-resolved scanning tunnelling microscopy.
