الوصف: Altermagnetism refers to a wide class of compensated magnetic orders featuring magnetic sublattices with opposite spins related by rotational symmetry rather than inversion or translational operations, resulting in non-trivial spin splitting and high-order multipolar orders. Here, by combining theoretical analysis, electrical transport, X-ray and optical spectroscopies, and nonlinear optical measurements, we establish a phase diagram in hybrid molecular beam epitaxy-grown RuO2/TiO2 (110) films, mapping the broken symmetries along the altermagnetic/electronic/structural phase transitions as functions of film thickness and temperature. This phase diagram features a novel altermagnetic metallic polar phase in strained 2 nm samples, extending the concept of multiferroics to altermagnetic systems. These results provide a comprehensive understanding of altermagnetism upon epitaxial heterostructure design for emergent novel phases with multifunctionalities.
