Abstract

Unusual transport properties deviating from the Fermi liquid are observed in ruthenates near a magnetic quantum-critical point (QCP). To understand the electronic properties of the ruthenates near and away from an antiferromagnetic (AF) QCP, I study the electronic structure and magnetic and transport properties for the t2gt_{2g}-orbital Hubbard model on a square lattice in fluctuation-exchange approximation including Maki-Thompson (MT) current vertex correction (CVC). The results away from the AF QCP reproduce several experimental results of Sr2_{2}RuO4_{4} qualitatively and provide new mechanisms about the enhancement of spin fluctuation at QIC-AF(0.66π,0.66π)Q_{\textrm{IC-AF}}\approx (0.66\pi,0.66\pi), larger mass enhancement of the dxyd_{xy} orbital than that of the dxz/yzd_{xz/yz} orbital, and nonmonotonic temperature dependence of the Hall coefficient. Also, the results near the AF QCP explain the TT-linear inplane resistivity in Sr2_{2}Ru0.075_{0.075}Ti0.025_{0.025}O4_{4} and give an experimental test on the obtained temperature dependence of the Hall coefficient. I reveal spatial correlation including the self-energy of electrons beyond mean-field approximations is essential to determine the electronic properties of the ruthenates. I also show several ubiquitous transport properties near an AF QCP and characteristic transport properties of a multiorbital system by comparison with results of a single-orbital system near an AF QCP.
