Theoretical Design for Altermagnets on Reticular Materials
Theoretical design principles for altermagnets on reticular material platforms are developed from complementary mathematical, chemical, and functional perspectives. Symmetry analysis provides a mathematical foundation for understanding and controlling the coupling between crystal structure and spin degrees of freedom. Chemical design through orbital engineering and coordination tuning enables targeted realization of altermagnetic states in reticular lattices. From a functional standpoint, this framework supports the integration of multiple spin-related properties within a single material platform, offering general design guidelines for altermagnetic materials with tunable and application-oriented spin functionalities.
