摘要:

Sr $_4$ Ru $_3$ O $_{10}$是Ruddlesden-Popper型单齿酸盐Sr $_{n+1}$ Ru $_n$ O $_{3n+1}$的$n$ = 3成员,已知在面内磁场中表现出特殊的变磁转变。然而,温度和场依赖相变的性质仍然是一个有争议的话题。在这里,我们已经研究了磁性转变的Sr $_4$ Ru $_3$ O $_{10}$通过单晶中子衍射测量。在零磁场下,我们发现该体系在$T_{c}$ ~ 100 K经历了一个铁磁相变,同时存在面内和面外磁分量.低于$T^{*}$ ~ 50 K时,磁矩继续向面外方向倾斜。在$T$ ~ 1.5 K时,自旋几乎沿$c$轴对齐,在临界场$B_c$上方发生自旋重取向,产生垂直于由场方向和$c$轴定义的平面的自旋分量。我们建议,温度和磁场驱动的自旋重取向与磁晶各向异性,这是强烈耦合到晶格自由度的变化。该研究阐明了长期以来对Sr $_4$ Ru $_3$ O $_{10}$零场磁序的困惑,并为场致变磁转变的本质提供了新的见解.

英文摘要:

Sr$_4$Ru$_3$O$_{10}$, the $n$ = 3 member of the Ruddlesden-Popper type ruthenate Sr$_{n+1}$Ru$_n$O$_{3n+1}$, is known to exhibit a peculiar metamagnetic transition in an in-plane magnetic field. However, the nature of both the temperature- and field-dependent phase transitions remains as a topic of debate. Here, we have investigated the magnetic transitions of Sr$_4$Ru$_3$O$_{10}$ via single-crystal neutron diffraction measurements. At zero field, we find that the system undergoes a ferromagnetic transition with both in-plane and out-of-plane magnetic components at $T_{c}$ ~ 100 K. Below $T^{*}$ ~ 50 K, the magnetic moments incline continuously toward the out-of-plane direction. At $T$ ~ 1.5 K, where the spins are nearly aligned along the $c$ axis, a spin reorientation occurs above a critical field $B_c$, giving rise to a spin component perpendicular to the plane defined by the field direction and the $c$ axis. We suggest that both the temperature- and field-driven spin reorientations are associated with a change in the magnetocrystalline anisotropy, which is strongly coupled to the lattice degrees of freedom. This study elucidates the long-standing puzzles on the zero-field magnetic orders of Sr$_4$Ru$_3$O$_{10}$ and provides new insights into the nature of the field-induced metamagnetic transition.
