Bilayered Sr₃Ru₂O₇ is an unusual metamagnetic metal with inherently antiferromagnetic (AFM) and ferromagnetic (FM) fluctuations. Partial substitution of Ru by Mn results in the establishment of a metal-insulator transition (MIT) at TMIT and AFM ordering at TM in Sr₃(Ru_1-xMn_x)₂O₇. Using elastic neutron scattering, we investigated the effect of Mn doping on the magnetic structure, in-plane magnetic correlation lengths and their correlation to the MIT in Sr₃(Ru_1-xMn_x)₂O₇ (x=0.06 and 0.12). With the increase of Mn doping (x) from 0.06 to 0.12 or the decrease of temperatures for x=0.12, an evolution from an in-plane short-range to long-range antiferromagnetic (AFM) ground state occurs. For both compounds, the magnetic ordering has a double-stripe configuration, and the onset of magnetic correlation with an anisotropic behavior coincides with the sharp rise in electrical resistivity and specific heat. Since it does not induce a measurable lattice distortion, the double-stripe antiferromagnetic order with anisotropic spin texture breaks symmetry from a C_4v crystal lattice to a C_2v magnetic sublattice. These observations shed light on an age-old question regarding the Slater versus Mott-type MIT.
