Unusual metal oxide shows signs of magnetism under lattice strain

Unusual metal oxide shows signs of magnetism under lattice strain in ultrathin layers

Ruthenium dioxide (RuO2) is a metal oxide that commonly serves as an important metallic conductor, quantum material and industrial electrocatalyst. While there have been debates surrounding the magnetic properties of RuO2, it is generally thought to be nonmagnetic in its bulk…
