Magnetothermal Properties near Quantum Criticality in the Itinerant Metamagnet Sr3Ru2O7

The compound Sr3Ru2O7 of the strontium ruthenate family has been intensely studied because experimental evidence suggests that quantum fluctuations dominate the magnetic phase diagram in the vicinity of a novel low-temperature phase. In order to understand the interplay between the quantum critical...
