Magnetization induced by the Rashba-Edelstein effect in antiferromagnetic CuMnAs. a Sketch of the tetragonal unit cell of CuMnAs with the magnetic moments constrained to the c-axis. The inset depicts the direction of the crystal axes. The red arrows on the manganese atoms represent the initial magnetic moments. Applying an electric field E along the (100) direction (gray arrow) induces a nonequilibrium magnetization mainly along the (010) direction (green arrows). b Symmetry of the induced spin magnetization as a function of the static electric-field direction for Mn1. c Symmetry of the induced orbital magnetization as a function of the static electric-field direction for Mn1. d Real parts of the nonzero tensor components (labeled ij, with i,j= x, y, or z) of the spin and orbital Rashba-Edelstein susceptibilities, Re[2χS] and Re[χL], as function of the electric-field frequency, ω.
