    Normal State O 17 NMR Studies of Sr2RuO4 under Uniaxial Stress
    (College Park, Md. : APS, 2019) Luo, Yongkang; Pustogow, A.; Guzman, P.; Dioguardi, A.P.; Thomas, S.M.; Ronning, F.; Kikugawa, N.; Sokolov, D.A.; Jerzembeck, F.; Mackenzie, A.P.; Hicka, C.W.; Bauer, E.D.; Mazin, I.I.; Brown, S.E.
    The effects of uniaxial compressive stress on the normal state O17 nuclear-magnetic-resonance properties of the unconventional superconductor Sr2RuO4 are reported. The paramagnetic shifts of both planar and apical oxygen sites show pronounced anomalies near the nominal a-axis strain μaaμv that maximizes the superconducting transition temperature Tc. The spin susceptibility weakly increases on lowering the temperature below T≃10 K, consistent with an enhanced density of states associated with passing the Fermi energy through a van Hove singularity. Although such a Lifshitz transition occurs in the γ band formed by the Ru dxy states hybridized with in-plane O pπ orbitals, the large Hund's coupling renormalizes the uniform spin susceptibility, which, in turn, affects the hyperfine fields of all nuclei. We estimate this "Stoner" renormalization S by combining the data with first-principles calculations and conclude that this is an important part of the strain effect, with implications for superconductivity. © 2019 authors.

    Formation of heavy d-electron quasiparticles in Sr3Ru2O7
    (Milton Park : Taylor & Francis, 2013) Allan, M.P.; Tamai, A.; Rozbicki, E.; Fischer, M.H.; Voss, J.; King, P.D.C.; Meevasana, W.; Thirupathaiah, S.; Rienks, E.; Fink, J.; Tennant, D.A .; Perry, R.S.; Mercure, J.F.; Wang, M.A.; Lee, Jinho; Fennie, C.J.; Kim, E.A.; Lawler, M.J.; Shen, K.M.; Mackenzie, A.P.; Shen, Z.X.; Baumberger, F.
    The phase diagram of Sr3Ru2O7 shows hallmarks of strong electron correlations despite the modest Coulomb interaction in the Ru 4d shell. We use angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy measurements to provide microscopic insight into the formation of the strongly renormalized heavy d-electron liquid that controls the physics of Sr3Ru2O7. Our data reveal itinerant Ru 4d-states confined over large parts of the Brillouin zone to an energy range of <6 meV, nearly three orders of magnitude lower than the bare band width. We show that this energy scale agrees quantitatively with a characteristic thermodynamic energy scale associated with quantum criticality and illustrate how it arises from a combination of back-folding due to a structural distortion and the hybridization of light and strongly renormalized, heavy quasiparticle bands. The resulting heavy Fermi liquid has a marked k-dependence of the renormalization which we relate to orbital mixing along individual Fermi surface sheets.
