First atomic-scale confirmation of 2D d-wave altermagnetism in KV₂Se₂O

Researchers used helical edge modes of a topological insulator as a spin-selective STM probe to map spin patterns in KV₂Se₂O at atomic resolution. They observed checkerboard antiferromagnetic order and d-wave spin splitting, confirming altermagnetism—a magnetic state blending ferromagnet and antiferromagnet traits.
