Electrical Readout of Neutral Magnon Hall Transport by Altermagnetic Edges

Abstract:
We develop a boundary theory for electrical readout of neutral magnon Hall transport at a magnetic-insulator-metal interface. For the number-conserving collinear regime considered here, a thermal gradient drives distinct Berry-curvature magnon number, spin, and energy Hall currents. Spin-active exchange absorbs incident magnons and injects angular momentum into a metallic detector. Its spin-odd tangential velocity converts the resulting electron-hole packet into an edge current. For a d-wave altermagnet, \(J_y^{\mathrm{edge}}=-2e\lambda_{\mathrm{AM}}\sin2\theta\,\dot S_N\), whereas a spin-degenerate \(PT\)-symmetric collinear antiferromagnet has vanishing response in this nonrelativistic channel. The mode-resolved law weights each incident Hall component by its magnon spin projection and absorption probability. For a scalar-chirality kagome source, \(\kappa_{xy}^{m,\mathrm{tr}}\propto\phi T^3\) in the quasi-two-dimensional infrared regime. A strong-absorption crossover yields \(J_y^{\mathrm{edge}}\propto T^2\). Chirality and Néel-vector reversals, principal-axis nodes, and a \(90^\circ\) rotation provide direct symmetry tests.

Magnetic Field due to Moving Charges
Consider a point charge moving with a constant velocity. Like the electric field, the magnetic field at any point is directly proportional to the magnitude of the charge and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the source point and the field point. However, unlike the electric field, the magnetic field is always perpendicular to the plane containing the line...
