Prediction of unconventional magnetism in doped FeSb(2)

It is commonly believed that in typical collinear antiferromagnets, with no net magnetization, the energy bands are spin-(Kramers-degenerate. The opposite case is usually associated with a global time-reversal symmetry breaking (e.g., via ferro(i)magnetism), or with the spin-orbit interaction is combined with the broken spatial inversion symmetry. Recently, another type of spin splitting was demonstrated to emerge in some fully compensated by symmetry, nonrelativistic, collinear magnets, and not even necessarily non-centrosymmetric. These materials feature non-zero spin density staggered not only in real, but also in momentum space. This duality results in a combination of characteristics t…
