Ruthenium oxide (Sr4Ru3O10) exhibits a second magnetic transition at a temperature TM below its ferromagnetic (FM) transition (TC ~ 105 K), which has attracted considerable attention in the past two decades. Here, we successfully grew Sr4(Ru1–xFex)3O10 (x = 0.01) crystal and systematically investigated the magnetotransport property of its nanosheets. We found a feature that there is an in-plane FM order aligned along < 110 > directions below TC without the occurrence of the second magnetic transition at TM, which is in contrast to that expected in pure Sr4Ru3O10 nanosheets, where the in-plane FM order will rotate to the c direction below TM. Furthermore, a metamagnetic-like transition is also observed below ~50 K at about 2 T when the magnetic field is applied along the c axis. Finally, these results unambiguously demonstrate that the second magnetic transition at TM is actually a consequence of spin reorientation induced by the inherent coupling between the spin and lattice, which can be effectively tuned by element doping.
