AbstractAntiferromagnets exhibit distinctive characteristics such as ultrafast dynamics and robustness against perturbative fields, thereby attracting considerable interest in fundamental physics and technological applications. Recently, it was revealed that the Néel vector can be switched by a current-induced staggered (Néel) spin-orbit torque in antiferromagnets with the parity-time symmetry, and furthermore, a nonsymmorphic symmetry enables the control of Dirac fermions. However, the real-time dynamics of the magnetic and electronic structures remain largely unexplored. Here, we propose a theory of the ultrafast dynamics in antiferromagnetic Dirac semimetals and show that the Néel vector is rotated in the picosecond timescale by the terahertz-pulse-induced Néel spin-orbit torque and other torques originating from magnetic anisotropies. This reorientation accompanies the modulation of the mass of Dirac fermions and can be observed in real time by the magneto-optical effects. Our results provide a theoretical basis for emerging ultrafast antiferromagnetic spintronics combined with the topological aspects of materials.

We show that interacting Dirac fermions in 2+1 dimensions behave as anyons in the non-relativistic limit. The reason is a spin-orbit coupling originating from both the magnetic μ · B-type interaction and the Thomas precession effect. We demonstrate this phenomenon by calculating and analyzing the Breit potential or QED and a scalar exchange theory to O(1/c2). We also show that there is a qualitative difference between the statistical phases arising from the magnetic interaction and from the Thomas precession, in that only the former can be detected as a Berry phase.
