The superconducting symmetry of Sr2RuO4 has been intensely debated for many years. A crucial controversy recently emerged between shear-mode ultrasound experiments, which suggest a two-component order parameter, and some uniaxial pressure…
Sr$_2$RuO$_4$ has stood as the leading candidate for a spin-triplet superconductor for 26 years. Recent NMR experiments have cast doubt on this candidacy, however, and it is difficult to find a theory of superconductivity that is consistent…
The nature of the Cooper pairing in the paradigmatic unconventional superconductor Sr$_2$RuO$_4$ is an outstanding puzzle in condensed matter physics. Despite the tremendous efforts made in the past twenty-seven years, neither the pairing…
Unambiguous identification of the superconducting order parameter symmetry of Sr$_2$RuO$_4$ has remained elusive for more than a quarter century. While a chiral $p$-wave ground state analogue to superfluid $^3$He-$A$ was ruled out only very…
This review describes recent significant research developments made on the layered perovskite Sr2RuO4 and discusses current issues from both experimental and theoretical perspectives. Since the discovery of superconductivity in Sr2RuO4 in…
The quasi-2D metal Sr$_2$RuO$_4$ is one of the best characterized unconventional superconductors, yet the nature of its superconducting order parameter is still highly debated. This information is crucial to determine the pairing mechanism…
The character of the superconducting phase of Sr$_2$RuO$_4$, is topic of a longstanding discussion. The classification of the symmetry allowed order parameters has relied on the tetragonal symmetry of the lattice and on cylindrical Fermi…
Sr2RuO4 is at present the best candidate for being a superconducting analogue of the triplet superfluidity in ^3He. This material is a good (albeit correlated) Fermi liquid in the normal state and an exotic superconductor below Tc. The…
This review presents a summary and evaluations of the superconducting properties of the layered ruthenate Sr2RuO4 as they are known in the autumn of 2011. This paper appends the main progress that has been made since the preceding review by…
Recent experiments make it appear more likely that the order parameter of the unconventional superconductor Sr$_2$RuO$_4$ has a spin-triplet $f$-wave symmetry. We study ultrasonic absorption and thermal conductivity of superconducting…
The unconventional superconductivity in Sr$_2$RuO$_4$ continues to attract considerable interest. While many measurements can be interpreted on the basis of chiral $p$-wave pairing with intriguing topological character, a number of…
Recent experiments on Sr_2RuO_4 have indicated the presence of linear nodes in the superconducting order parameter. Among the possible spin triplet states, 2D p-wave superconductivity with E_u symmetry appears to be inconsistent with the…
Soon after the discovery of superconductivity in Sr2RuO4 (SRO) in 1994, it was conjectured that its order parameter (OP) has a form similar to that realized in the superfluid He-3, namely, odd parity and spin triplet. The chiral p-wave…
The superconductor Sr2RuO4 has been the subject of enormous interest over more than two decades, but until now the form of its order parameter has not been determined. Since groundbreaking NMR experiments revealed that the pairs are of…
Exotic superconducting properties of Sr$_{2}$RuO$_{4}$ have provided strong support for an unconventional pairing symmetry. However, the extensive efforts over the past decade have not yet unambiguously resolved the controversy about the…
A key question regarding the unconventional superconductivity of Sr$_2$RuO$_4$ remains whether the order parameter is single- or two-component. Under a hypothesis of two-component superconductivity, uniaxial pressure is expected to lift…
More than two decades after the discovery of superconductivity in Sr$_2$RuO$_4$, it is still unclear whether the order parameter has a single component or two degenerate components. For any two-component scenario, application of uniaxial…
The unusual superconducting state in Sr$_2$RuO$_4$ has long been viewed as being analogous to a superfluid state in liquid $^3$He. Nevertheless, calculations based on this odd-parity state are presently unable to completely reconcile the…
Recent experimental data on purest Sr_2RuO_4 single crystals clearly indicate the presence of nodes in the superconducting order parameter. Here, we consider one special p-wave order parameter symmetry and two two-dimensional f-wave order…
We show that in Sr2RuO4 the Fermi surface geometry as inferred from angle resolved photoemission experiments has important implications for a pairing interaction dominated by incommensurate, strongly anisotropic, spin fluctuations. For a…
