Abstract

Carrier doping to the Mott insulator is essential to produce highly correlated metals with emergent properties. Pyrochlore ruthenates, Pr2_{2}Ru2_{2}O7_{7} (Ru-4d4d electron number, n=4n=4) and Ca2_{2}Ru2_{2}O7_{7} (n=3n=3), are a Mott insulator and a magnetic bad metal, respectively, due to the strong electron correlation. We investigate magneto-transport properties of (Pr1x_{1-x}Cax_{x})2_{2}Ru2_{2}O7_{7} in a whole band-filling range, 0<x<10<x<1. With increasing hole-doping xx, the system undergoes an insulator-metal transition. When Ca2_{2}Ru2_{2}O7_{7} is doped with electrons (0.5<x<0.90.5<x<0.9), the enhanced coupling among Ru-4d4d spins produces a ferromagnetic-metal phase with a large anomalous-Hall angle up to 2 %. We discuss the electronic phase transitions in (Pr1x_{1-x}Cax_{x})2_{2}Ru2_{2}O7_{7} in view of Hund's metal.
