Orbital-cooperative spin fluctuation and orbital-dependent transport in ruthenates
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 -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 SrRuO qualitatively and provide new mechanisms about the enhancement of spin fluctuation at , larger mass enhancement of the orbital than that of the orbital, and nonmonotonic temperature dependence of the Hall coefficient. Also, the results near the AF QCP explain the -linear inplane resistivity in SrRuTiO 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.
