摘要: The triple-layered ${\mathrm{Sr}}_{4}{\mathrm{Ru}}_{3}{\mathrm{O}}_{10}$ is characterized by an unexpectedly strong quasi-two dimensional characteristic, and a sharp metamagnetic transition ferromagnetic behavior occurring within the basal plane along c axis, respectively. interplane resistivity at magnetic field B, up to 32 T, exhibits very low-frequency quantum oscillations associated with spin polarized state when B parallel large magnetoresistivity accompanied critical fluctuations governed perpendicular axis. complex evidenced in magnetization, specific heat, presented not characteristic of any obvious ground states, points unusual that shows delicate balance between order. Implications these results are discussed.
