In the past years RuO2 has emerged as a central material for understanding the basic properties of altermagnetic materials¹. In our work, we study the effects of Rh-doping on the properties of altermagnetic RuO2. We use first-principles methods to simulate the effect of replacing Ru atoms with Rh and study the corresponding changes in the characteristic spin-splitting with the Bloch vector and changes in the spin-resolved Fermi surface topology. We demonstrate that the latter has a profound impact on various transport characteristics of RuO2². We thus promote Rh-doped RuO2 as a promising platform for tuning the electronic properties and transport effects in altermagnetic materials.
