Bilayer ruthenate Ca$_3$(Ru$_{1-x}$Fe$_x$)$_2$O$_7$ ($x$ = 0.05) exhibits an incommensurate magnetic soliton lattice driven by the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction. Here we report complex field-induced magnetic phase transitions and memory effect in this system via single-crystal neutron diffraction and magnetotransport measurements. We observe first-order incommensurate-to-commensurate magnetic transitions upon applying the magnetic field both along and perpendicular to the propagation axis of the incommensurate spin structure. Furthermore, we find that the metastable states formed upon decreasing the magnetic field depend on the temperature and the applied field orientation. We suggest that the observed field-induced metastability may be ascribable to the quenched kinetics at low temperature.

The antiferromagnetic Ruddlesden-Popper ruthenate Ca$_3$Ru$_2$O$_7$ is a model polar metal, combining inversion symmetry breaking with metallic conductivity; however, its low temperature ($T < 48$ K) crystal structure and Fermi surface topology remai
n ambiguous despite numerous measurements and theoretical studies. Here we perform both first principles calculations with static correlations and angle resolved photoelectron spectroscopy experiments to construct a complete model of Ca$_3$Ru$_2$O$_7$, reconciling inconsistencies among interpretations of electrical transport, thermopower measurements, and momentum- and energy-resolved band dispersions. The solution relies on treating the interplay among Coulomb repulsion, magnetic ordering, spin-orbit interactions, and the RuO$_6$ octahedral degrees-of-freedom on equal footing. For temperatures $30<T < 48$ K, we propose weak electron-electron interactions produce a symmetry-preserving metal-semimetal transition with Weyl nodes in proximity to the Fermi level, whereas a new orthorhombic $Pn2_1a$ structure emerges for $T<30$ K, exhibiting charge and spin density waves from enhanced Coulombic interactions.
Ambipolar transport is a commonly occurring theme in semimetals and semiconductors. Here we present an analytical formulation of the conductivity for a two-band system. Electron and hole carrier densities and their respective conductivities are mappe
d into a two-dimensional unit-less phase space. Provided that one of the carrier densities is known, the dimensionless phase space can be probed through magnetoresistance measurements. This formulation of the two-band model for conductivity is applied to magnetoresistance experiments on Ca$_3$Ru$_2$O$_7$. While previous such measurements focused on the low-temperature limit, we cover a broad temperature range and find negative magnetoresistance in an intermediate interval below the electronic transition at 48 K. The low-temperature magnetoresistance in Ca$_3$Ru$_2$O$_7$ is consistent with a two-band structure. However, the model fails to describe the full temperature and magnetic field dependence. Negative magnetoresistance found in an intermediate temperature range is, for example, not captured by this model. We thus conclude that the electronic and magnetic structure in this intermediate temperature range render the system beyond the most simple two-band model.
Non-equilibrium steady state (NESS) conditions induced by DC current can alter the physical properties of strongly correlated electron systems (SCES). In this regard, it was recently shown that DC current can trigger novel electronic states, such as
current-induced diamagnetism, which cannot be realized in equilibrium conditions. However, reversible control of diamagnetism has not been achieved yet. Here, we demonstrate reversible in situ control between a Mott insulating state and a diamagnetic semimetal-like state by DC current in the Ti-substituted bilayer ruthenate Ca$_3$(Ru$_{1-x}$Ti$_x$)$_2$O$_7$ ($x=0.5$%). By performing simultaneous magnetic and resistive measurements, we map out the temperature vs current-density phase diagram in the NESS of this material. The present results open up the possibility of creating novel electronic states in a variety of SCES under DC current.
Oxides containing iridium ions display a range of magnetic and conducting properties that depend on the delicate balance between interactions and are controlled, at least in part, by the details of the crystal architecture. We have used muon-spin rot
ation ($mu$SR) to study the local field in four iridium oxides, Ca$_4$IrO$_6$, Ca$_5$Ir$_3$O$_{12}$, Sr$_3$Ir$_2$O$_7$ and Sr$_2$IrO$_4$, which show contrasting behavior. Our $mu$SR data on Ca$_4$IrO$_6$ and Ca$_5$Ir$_3$O$_{12}$ are consistent with conventional antiferromagnetism where quasistatic magnetic order develops below $T_{rm N}=13.85(6)$ K and 7.84(7) K respectively. A lower internal field is observed for Ca$_5$Ir$_3$O$_{12}$, as compared to Ca$_4$IrO$_6$ reflecting the presence of both Ir$^{4+}$ and Ir$^{5+}$ ions, resulting in a more magnetically dilute structure. Muon precession is only observed over a restricted range of temperature in Sr$_3$Ir$_2$O$_7$, while the Mott insulator Sr$_2$IrO$_4$ displays more complex behavior, with the $mu$SR signal containing a single, well-resolved precession signal below $T_{rm N}=230$,K, which splits into two precession signals at low temperature following a reorientation of the spins in the ordered state.
We report the magnetic and electronic properties of the bilayer ruthenate Sr$_3$Ru$_2$O$_7$ upon Fe substitution for Ru. We find that Sr$_3$(Ru$_{1-x}$Fe$_x$)$_2$O$_7$ shows a spin-glass-like phase below 4 K for $x$ = 0.01 and commensurate E-type ant
iferromagnetically ordered insulating ground state characterized by the propagation vector $q_c$ = (0.25 0.25 0) for $x$ $geq$ 0.03, respectively, in contrast to the paramagnetic metallic state in the parent compound with strong spin fluctuations occurring at wave vectors $q$ = (0.09 0 0) and (0.25 0 0). The observed antiferromagnetic ordering is quasi-two-dimensional with very short correlation length along the $c$ axis, a feature similar to the Mn-doped Sr$_3$Ru$_2$O$_7$. Our results suggest that this ordered ground state is associated with the intrinsic magnetic instability in the pristine compound, which can be readily tipped by the local magnetic coupling between the 3$d$ orbitals of the magnetic dopants and Ru 4$d$ orbitals.
