Hall-effect measurements on epitaxial thin films of the metallic oxide
s CaRuO3 and SrRuO3 show a sign change from negative to positive-as te
mperature is increased through similar to 50 K. The presence of both s
igns together with the low- and high-temperature magnitudes of the Hal
l coefficients indicate that these materials are highly compensated me
tals. The sign change with temperature suggests that large regions of
the Fermi surfaces in both materials have nearly zero band curvature.
Comparisons to recent band-structure calculations are made.
