Abstract:
We report that the quasi-two-dimensional Fermi-liquid behavior of the spin-triplet superconductor Sr2RuO4 breaks down in the vicinity of the critical impurity concentration for the onset of magnetic order induced by nonmagnetic Ti4+ impurities. The non-Fermi-liquid behavior is interpreted in terms of the two-dimensional antiferromagnetic fluctuations, which arise mainly from the nesting within one of the Fermi-surface sheets. We argue against the main role of such magnetic fluctuations in the pairing mechanism.

Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human eye.

Fermi Level
At absolute zero temperature, electrons fill all energy states up to the Fermi level, leaving upper states empty. As the temperature rises,...
