| contents | Presence of magnetism in potentially altermagnetic RuO$_2$ has been a subject of intense debate. Using broadband infrared spectroscopy combined with density-functional band-structure calculations, we show that optical conductivity of RuO$_2$, the bulk probe of its electronic structure, is well described by the nonmagnetic model of this material. The sharp Pauli edge demonstrates the presence of a Dirac nodal line lying 45 meV below the Fermi level. Good match between the experimental and ab initio plasma frequencies underpins weakness of electronic correlations. The intraband part of the optical conductivity indicates Fermi-liquid behavior with two distinct scattering rates below 150 K. Fermi-liquid theory also accounts for the temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility of RuO$_2$ and allows a consistent description of this material as paramagnetic metal. |
