چکیده

Spin-triplet superconductivity in Sr2RuO4 has attracted enormous interest. Like other unconventional superconductors, superconductivity in Sr2RuO4 is in close proximity to magnetic instability. Undoped Sr2RuO4 exhibits incommensurate antiferromagnetic (AFM) fluctuations, which can evolve into static, short-range AFM order via Ti doping. Moreover, weak ferromagnetic (FM) coupling in Sr2RuO4 has also been suggested by NMR/neutron scattering experiments and studies on Ca2-xSrxRuO4 and Sr2-yLayRuO4, implying orbital dependent magnetism. We report bulk static, short-range FM order in Sr2RuO4 triggered by <2% Co doping, showing superconductivity in Sr2RuO4 is much closer to FM instability than previously reported in Ca2-xSrxRuO4. We also find Mn doping can effectively establish incommensurate AFM order, with TN ~ 50 K for 3% Mn doping. These new results place Sr2RuO4 in a unique situation where superconductivity lies directly on the borderline of two distinct magnetic states, highlighting the important role of competing magnetic fluctuations in determining superconducting properties of Sr2RuO4.

Unusual Electrical Transport Driven by the Competition between Antiferromagnetism and Ferromagnetism in Antiperovskite Mn3Zn1−xCoxN

The magnetic, electrical transport and thermal expansion properties of Mn₃Zn1-xCoxN (x = 0.2, 0.4, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9) have been systematically investigated. Co-doping in Mn₃ZnN complicates the magnetic interactions, leading to a competition between antiferromagnetism and ferromagnetism. Abrupt resistivity jump phenomenon and negative thermal expansion behavior, both associated with the complex magn...

Competition between ferromagnetism and antiferromagnetism: origin of large magnetoresistance in polycrystalline SrRu1-xMnxO3 (0 le x le 1)

Polycrystalline SrRu1−x MnxO3 (0 x 1) perovskite oxides have been prepared by a conventional solid-state reaction technique. Magnetic and magnetotransport properties are measured using a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID, Quantum Design MPMS) over a temperature range of 4–300 K. The substitution of Mn ions for Ru drives the system from a ferromagnetic state, SrRuO3, to an antif...
