Unveiling unconventional magnetism at the surface of Sr2RuO4

Abstract: Materials with strongly correlated electrons often exhibit interesting physical properties. An example of these materials is the layered oxide perovskite Sr2RuO4, which has been intensively investigated due to its unusual properties. Whilst the debate on the symmetry of the superconducting state in Sr2RuO4 is still ongoing, a deeper understanding of the Sr2RuO4 normal state appears crucial as this is the background in which electron pairing occurs. Here, by using low-energy muon spin spectroscopy we discover t… Show more

“…The field-induced charge order is at a wave vector q = (0.5, 0.5), which connects opposite edges of the Brillouin zone corresponding to the orthorhombic unit cell. We note that the recently proposed loop-current state in the surface layer of Sr 2 RuO 4 [34] would be expected to result in a similar stripe-like pattern in magnetic field. While this magnetic field-induced charge order seemingly could explain anisotropic transport signatures found near fields around the metamagnetic phase transitions in the bulk Sr 3 Ru 2 O 7 [1], it occurs in a different crystallographic direction: we observe this symmetry breaking between the [11] and [1 1] directions of the tetragonal unit cell, whereas the anisotropic transport and field-induced magnetic order observed in neutron scattering are along the [10] and [01] directions.…”

“…This implies that the chargeordered state displays not only bond distortions, but also orbital current loops (see Fig. 1a) [27][28][29][30].…”
