Electronically-driven structural transition in Ti-doped Ca3Ru2O7

DOI

The purpose of the experiment is to determine the effect of titanium doping on the structural and magnetic transitions of Ca3Ru2O7. The pure material undergoes a Néel transition to an antiferromagnetic state at 56K followed by a structural transition at 48K. For Ca3(Ru1-xTix)2O7 with x>0.003 the structural transition is also a true metal-insulator transition and is increased in temperature. The onset temperature for the magnetic order and its relation to the metal-insulator transition in the doped material has not yet been clearly identified. Scans would be run on the x=0.1 doped material across the temperature range of the transitions to study the structural transition, in particular the oxygen displacements. The onset and nature of the magnetic state would also be investigated.
