Abstract

Neutron scattering studies reveal an unusual E-type antiferromagnetic (AFM) structure in Mn-substituted single crystals of Sr 3Ru 2O 7 (x=0.16). The material behaves as quasi-two- dimensional (2D) antiferromagnet with in-plane (ab) long-range ordering and exhibits only single-bilayer (5-6) ferromagnetic correlations along the c direction below T N=78 K. However, the critical behavior of the staggered magnetization, the AFM order parameter, does not reflect the expected behavior of a 2D magnetic phase transition. Such an unusual magnetic structure deviates from what would be expected from the conventional spin-lattice coupling scenario in this class of materials.
