| contents | We propose a magnon-driven anomalous Hall effect in altermagnets, arising from the coupling between coherently excited chiral magnons and chiral electronic motion. Using density-matrix perturbation theory and symmetry analysis, we show that the resulting Hall conductivity is solely determined by the chiralithy of the Néel-order precession, in sharp contrast to the anomalous Hall effect from the equilibrium Néel order. It then has distinct symmetry requirements from the latter and can exist even when the latter is forbidden by symmetry. The magnon-driven anomalous Hall effect is exemplified in a minimal lattice model with the same symmetry of the altermagnet CrSb, which hosts no static anomalous Hall effect. Our results reveal a direct interplay between chiral magnons and chiral electronic motion, paving the way of probing magnon chirality and to control electronic chirality through magnons. |
