Absence of net magnetization in altermagnetis is both a blessing (no stray fields) and a curse (no obvious way to manipulate altermagnetic domains by external fields). Yet, MnTe was demonstrated experimentally to have no measurable stray fields and yet controllable by external magnetic filed - a win-win situation. In this paper we unravel the microscopic mechanism of this property. It appear to emerge from concerted action of three different mechanisms. Microscopic understanding of the beneficial properties of MnTe opens a road to controllable design of similar altermagnets for spintronics applications.

  1. Nanoscale Imaging of Strain-Controlled Altermagnetic Domains in {\alpha}-MnTe

    cond-mat.mtrl-sci 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    In alpha-MnTe, compression makes magnetic domains grow by merging, and unloading leaves them fragmented in a different, metastable pattern, so the material remembers the strain history.

  2. Altermagnetic spin splitting and symmetry-enforced partial spin degeneracy in hexagonal MnTe

    cond-mat.mtrl-sci 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Spin degeneracy is symmetry-protected in the kz=0 and ky=0 planes of hexagonal MnTe, while spin splitting appears elsewhere except on nodal lines.
