The pith

In altermagnets, electrically injected spin accumulation produces a vector magnon spin current with a giant transverse component that reverses sign and switches with the Néel vector.

A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.

The paper establishes that altermagnets, which feature chirally split magnons from broken parity-time symmetry, respond to an electrically created spin accumulation by generating a magnon spin current with both longitudinal and large transverse parts. The transverse current changes sign with distance from the injection site and can be turned on or off by rotating the Néel vector. A reader would care because this response is predicted to be roughly one hundred times stronger than the same current in ordinary antiferromagnets, supplying a clear electrical signature that identifies the altermagnetic state and its orientation without needing optical or neutron probes.

Core claim

The authors predict that a spin accumulation electrically injects a vector or multidirectional magnon spin current into an altermagnet, comprising both longitudinal and sizable transverse components. The transverse current exhibits a sign reversal away from the source and can be switched on or off by reorienting the Néel vector. Quantum-kinetic calculations show that in altermagnets the transverse response is enhanced by two orders of magnitude due to broken parity-time symmetry, while the same transverse current is not forbidden but remains small in conventional antiferromagnets.

What carries the argument

The vector magnon spin current, generated by spin accumulation and carrying both longitudinal and transverse components whose magnitude is set by the chirally split magnon bands and the orientation of the Néel vector.

Load-bearing premise

The quantum-kinetic calculations accurately capture the two-order-of-magnitude enhancement without significant contributions from higher-order scattering, interface effects, or disorder that could suppress the transverse response in real samples.

What would settle it

A direct measurement showing that the transverse magnon spin current in an altermagnet is comparable in size to the current in a conventional antiferromagnet, or that it lacks the predicted sign reversal away from the source, would falsify the claimed enhancement.

Altermagnets host chirally split magnons that promise unique functionalities for information processing. However, their distinctive transport signatures, crucial for experimental identification and manipulation, remain elusive. Here, we predict that a spin accumulation electrically injects a ``vector" or multidirectional magnon spin current into an altermagnet, comprising both longitudinal and sizable transverse components. Notably, this transverse current exhibits a sign reversal away from the source and can be switched on or off by reorienting the N\'eel vector. While such a transverse current is found to be not forbidden even in conventional antiferromagnets, we demonstrate through quantum-kinetic calculations that in altermagnets, the transverse response is enhanced by two orders of magnitude due to broken parity-time symmetry. This giant enhancement provides a decisive transport fingerprint for detecting magnon spin splitting and N\'eel-vector orientation, offering a clear criterion to experimentally distinguish altermagnets from conventional antiferromagnets.

Referee Report

2 major / 1 minor

Summary. The paper claims that altermagnets support electrical injection of a vector magnon spin current containing both longitudinal and transverse components. The transverse current exhibits sign reversal away from the injector and can be toggled by Néel-vector reorientation; quantum-kinetic calculations show this transverse response is enhanced by two orders of magnitude relative to conventional antiferromagnets because of broken parity-time symmetry, furnishing a clear transport fingerprint for magnon spin splitting and Néel-vector orientation.

Significance. If the reported enhancement is robust, the work supplies a concrete, electrically accessible signature that distinguishes altermagnets from conventional antiferromagnets and enables Néel-vector control of magnon spin flow. The symmetry-based argument together with the explicit prediction of sign reversal and switchability constitutes a falsifiable, experimentally testable proposal that could accelerate identification and device exploitation of altermagnetic magnonics.

major comments (2)
  1. [Quantum-kinetic transport section] Quantum-kinetic transport section: the two-order-of-magnitude enhancement of the transverse magnon spin current is obtained within the relaxation-time approximation; the manuscript provides no quantitative estimate of how momentum-randomizing scattering, finite mean-free-path lengths (tens of nm), or interface resistances would suppress the transverse component, leaving open the possibility that realistic disorder reduces the claimed fingerprint by the same factor the ideal calculation amplifies it.
  2. [Comparison to conventional antiferromagnets] Comparison to conventional antiferromagnets: the central claim requires an explicit side-by-side evaluation of the transverse conductivity (or current) in the altermagnet versus a PT-symmetric antiferromagnet under identical injection conditions; without the relevant equations or parameter table showing the matrix-element or density-of-states factors that produce the factor-of-100 difference, it is impossible to judge whether the enhancement is symmetry-protected or sensitive to microscopic details.
minor comments (1)
  1. [Abstract and results] The abstract states that the transverse current 'can be switched on or off by reorienting the Néel vector,' but the main text should include a dedicated figure or panel that directly plots the transverse current versus Néel-vector angle to make this control explicit.

  1. Referee: [Quantum-kinetic transport section] Quantum-kinetic transport section: the two-order-of-magnitude enhancement of the transverse magnon spin current is obtained within the relaxation-time approximation; the manuscript provides no quantitative estimate of how momentum-randomizing scattering, finite mean-free-path lengths (tens of nm), or interface resistances would suppress the transverse component, leaving open the possibility that realistic disorder reduces the claimed fingerprint by the same factor the ideal calculation amplifies it.

    Authors: We agree that quantitative discussion of disorder effects is necessary to assess experimental observability. The relaxation-time approximation is the standard framework for these quantum-kinetic calculations, and the transverse enhancement is symmetry-protected by broken PT symmetry, which forbids cancellation channels present in conventional antiferromagnets. In the revised manuscript we add a dedicated paragraph providing order-of-magnitude estimates: for mean free paths of 10–100 nm (typical for altermagnetic candidates), the transverse component remains enhanced by at least one order of magnitude; interface resistances scale both longitudinal and transverse currents proportionally and therefore preserve the relative signature. We also delineate the validity regime of the approximation. revision: partial

  2. Referee: [Comparison to conventional antiferromagnets] Comparison to conventional antiferromagnets: the central claim requires an explicit side-by-side evaluation of the transverse conductivity (or current) in the altermagnet versus a PT-symmetric antiferromagnet under identical injection conditions; without the relevant equations or parameter table showing the matrix-element or density-of-states factors that produce the factor-of-100 difference, it is impossible to judge whether the enhancement is symmetry-protected or sensitive to microscopic details.

    Authors: We accept that an explicit side-by-side comparison improves clarity. The two-order enhancement follows directly from the additional spin-magnon matrix elements allowed only when PT symmetry is broken. The revised manuscript includes a new subsection with the transport equations written for both the altermagnet and a PT-symmetric antiferromagnet under identical injection conditions, together with a table that isolates the differing matrix-element and density-of-states factors. This shows that the factor of ~100 is symmetry-protected and robust within the model parameters. revision: yes

Circularity Check

0 steps flagged

No circularity: enhancement emerges as output of quantum-kinetic transport model

full rationale

The paper derives the two-order-of-magnitude transverse magnon spin current enhancement in altermagnets from quantum-kinetic calculations that start from symmetry properties (broken PT symmetry) and solve the transport equations for spin accumulation injection. No equation or result is shown to reduce by construction to a fitted parameter, a renamed input, or a self-citation chain; the transverse component and its sign reversal are computed outputs rather than presupposed quantities. The comparison to conventional antiferromagnets is likewise obtained within the same framework without load-bearing external citations that themselves depend on the target result.
