Symmetry-Breaking Induced Spin Transport and Magneto-Optical Regulation in 2D Altermagnet Ru2MoSe4

Abstract

Two-dimensional (2D) altermagnets (AMs) offer a compelling paradigm for advanced spintronics, yet their fully compensated macroscopic spin currents inherently limit practical device integration. In this work, using first-principles calculations and theoretical analysis, we demonstrate that the 2D material Ru2MoSe4 hosts AM ground state protected by S4zT symmetry. Using uniaxial strain modulation and stacking configuration, we show that the monolayer and the AC-stacking bilayer Ru2MoSe4 host fully spin-polarized currents, piezomagnetically induced net magnetization, and the magneto-optical Kerr effect. Our findings establish Ru2MoSe4 as a tunable platform, offering a feasible mechanism to simultaneously trigger electrical spin transport signals and amplify optical readout signatures for next-generation spintronics and valleytronics.
