Title: Observation of a Metallic Antiferromagnetic Phase and Metal to Nonmetal Transition in Ca{sub 3}Ru{sub 2}O{sub 7}

Abstract

Single crystal Ca{sub 3}Ru{sub 2}O{sub 7} shows a metallic antiferromagnetic phase intermediate between a first-order metal to nonmetal transition at T{sub M}=48K and the antiferromagnetic ordering (N{acute e}el) temperature, T{sub N}=56K. The metallic antiferromagnetic phase is predicted within various Mott-Hubbard models. Magnetization and electrical resistivity reveal strongly anisotropic metamagnetism in the nonmetallic antiferromagnetic phase. The charge and spin excitations are strongly coupled: The H-T phase diagrams determined by magnetization and magnetoresistivity are indistinguishable and reveal a multicritical point. The heat capacity of Ca{sub 3}Ru{sub 2}O{sub 7} suggests it is a highly correlated electron system. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
