Altermagnets, a third class of collinear magnets, have zero net magnetization but spin-split bands, even without spin–orbit coupling. Their standard classification into six wave types (d-, g-, and i-wave in 2D and 3D) relies on magnetic point groups of mostly centrosymmetric crystals. In this talk, I will show that spinless time reversal replaces inversion, so altermagnetism extends to non-centrosymmetric crystals.

The annual Astronomy Jamboree returns on Sept 14/2026!

This event, which occurs the week before the first astronomy colloquium of the season, is a showcase of astronomy research at UBC. Students, postdocs, and faculty working in Astronomy and Astrophysics present 55-second 1-slide talks.  This serves to rapidly (in an single session) allow all newcomers (new students and postdocs, visiting faculty) to get a sense of the breadth of research occuring in the department.  Inversely, the group gets a chance to meet all the newcomers.
