The magnetic properties of the triple-layered Sr(4)Ru(3)O(10) have been investigated by means of neutron scattering diffraction. At zero field we find that the magnetic moments are ferromagnetically coupled and oriented along the c-axis with no signatures of either long-range antiferromagnetic order or ferromagnetic components in the ab-plane. The field dependence of the reflection intensity points to a metamagnetic response involving only the planar magnetic moments. The structural refinement indicates a distinct rearrangement of the unit cell as a function of both temperature and in-plane applied field. We show that at the temperature T* ~/= 50 K, below which the metamagnetic behavior is observed, the c-axis lattice parameter exhibits a rapid increase while the in-plane amplitude saturates. A similar upturn of the in-plane lattice parameter after the quench of the c-axis amplitude occurs above a critical magnetic field.

Triple-layered SrRuO is a unique ferromagnet with the central RuO layer behaving differently from two outer layers both crystallographically and magnetically. We report that the partial substitution of Ru by smaller Mn gives rise to modification in crystal structure, electronic and magnetic properties of Sr(RuMn)O. Through the single crystal X-ray diffraction refinement, we find that (Ru/Mn)O octahedral rotation is no longer detectable at x ≥ 0.

We have investigated the electronic transport properties of the triple-layered ruthenate Sr4Ru3O10. We observed surprising anomalous features near its itinerant metamagnetic transition, including ultrasharp magnetoresistivity steps, a nonmetallic temperature dependence in resistivity for upward field sweeps, and a resistivity drop in temperature dependence for downward field sweeps. These features suggest that the metamagnetic transition of Sr4Ru3O10 occurs via an electronic phase separation process with magnetic domain formation.
