Recent advances in research on altermagnets Alongside ferromagnets and antiferromagnets, altermagnets have recently gained attention as a third class of magnetic materials. Despite having almost no net magnetization and minimal stray magnetic fields, magnetic moments of altermagnets can be manipulated and detected similarly to ferromagnets, due to the unique arrangement of their magnetic moments. This property makes them promising for applications such as ultra-high-density and ultra-fast magnetic data storage. In this workshop, we have invited six distinguished researchers active in fields related to altermagnets to give talks on recent advances and research trends from theoretical, experimental, and other perspectives. We look forward to welcoming your participation. Date: October 16th(Thursday), 2025 […]

New Frontiers in Condensed Matter Physics Unveiled by Chimera Quasiparticles Modern electronic devices are based on quasiparticles, which allow complex physical phenomena to be understood as the movement of a small number of quasiparticles. Examples of these include phonons and photons. Researchers can develop novel physical properties and functions by combining quasiparticles as “chimera quasiparticles” using techniques such as artificial structures and material design. This approach is expected to reveal novel physical phenomena and establish a foundation for developing highly functional devices. In this workshop, five researchers active in the field of “chimera quasiparticles” as lecturers will present and discuss their researches, covering topics from fundamental principles to practical applications.
