| contents | Altermagnetism, a new phase of collinear spin-order sharing similarities with antiferromagnets and ferromagnets, has introduced a new guiding principle for spintronic/thermoelectric applications due to its direction-dependent magnetic properties. Fulfilling the promise to exploit altermagnetism for device design depends on identifying materials with tuneable transport properties. The search for intrinsic altermagnets has so far focused on the role of anisotropy in the crystallographic symmetries and in the bandstructure. Here, we present a different mechanism that approaches this goal by leveraging the interplay between a Hubbard local repulsion and the itinerant magnetism given by the presence of van Hove singularities. We show that altermagnetism is stable for a broad range of interactions and dopings and we focus on tunability of the spin-charge conversion ratio. |
