Altermagnets are a newly identified class of magnetic materials [1] that exhibit alternating spin polarization in both their real and reciprocal space. This intriguing feature allows altermagnetic materials to demonstrate important spintronic effects, such as the anomalous Hall effect (AHE), previously believed to be absent in collinear compensated systems. RuO₂ has emerged as an altermagnetic model material, and in this presentation, I will summarize the experimental evidence of the AHE in this material [2,3]. Additionally, I will focus on detailed magnetometry measurements on RuO₂ thin films grown on TiO₂ substrates with various orientations and compare the results with transport measurements.
