Altermagnetism has emerged as a novel magnetic order combining features of both ferro- and antiferromagnetism. Despite their compensated spin structure, altermagnets exhibit symmetry-induced momentum-dependent splitting of magnon bands with well-defined chirality. This splitting must reflect the material’s point-group symmetry. Here, we demonstrate the chiral character of these magnons by circular-dichroism resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (CD-RIXS) on altermagnetic α-MnTe [1]. We reveal momentum-dependent dichroism, indicating the polarization-dependent magnon splitting consistent with a g-wave symmetry. [1] D. Jost et al., arXiv:2501.17380v2 (2025).
