Absence of magnetic order in RuO2: insights from μSR spectroscopy and neutron diffraction

Abstract Altermagnets are a novel class of magnetic materials, where magnetic order is staggered both in coordinate and momentum space. The metallic rutile oxide RuO2, long believed to be a textbook Pauli paramagnet, recently emerged as a putative workhorse altermagnet when resonant X-ray and neutro... View More
