It gives us great pleasure to announce that the MagTop Centre has been funded from Priority 2 of the European Funds for Smart Economy 2021-2027 Programme (FENG) through the next 5 years. The Foundation for Polish Science announced the results of recruitment under the International Research Agendas activity financed by the European Funds for Smart Economy 2021-2027 Programme (FENG).

Magnetic materials with zero net magnetization fall into two classes: conventional antiferromagnets and altermagnets. Physicists have identified a property in altermagnets that widens the divide between the two groups. Altermagnets represent collinear antiferromagnetic compounds with spin-up and spin-down sublattices connected only by mirror and roto-translational symmetries.
