Abstract

The unusual metal SrRuO3 is perhaps the only known 4d transition-metal-based ferromagnet (Tc = 162 K) with a sizable moment. To complement low-T polarized neutron diffraction measurements of the magnetization density, high-T neutron diffraction measurements are reported here. Two structural phase transitions are observed. Between 10 and 800 K, SrRuO3 is orthorhombic and at 800 K it appears to be tetragonal until 975 K, where it becomes cubic. The temperature variation of the lattice parameters is reported along with a structural description of the tetragonal phase.
