The coupling of spin and orbital degrees of freedom in the trilayer Sr4Ru3O10 sets a long-standing puzzle, due to the peculiar anisotropic coexistence of out-of-plane ferromagnetism and in-plane metamagnetism. Recently, the induced magnetic structure by in-plane applied fields has been investigated by means of spin-polarized neutron diffraction, which allowed to extract a substantial orbital component of the magnetic densities at Ru sites. It has been argued that the latter is at the origin of the evident layer dependent magnetic anisotropy, where the inner layers carry larger magnetic moments than the outer ones. We present a spin-polarized neutron diffraction study in order to characterize the nature of the ferromagnetic state of Sr4Ru3O10, in the presence of a magnetic field applied along the c-axis. The components of the magnetic densities at the Ru sites reveal a vanishing contribution of the orbital magnetic moment which is unexpected for a material system where orbital and spin degeneracy are lifted by spin-orbit coupling and ferromagnetism. We employ a model that includes the Coulomb interaction and spin-orbit coupling at the Ru site to address the origin of the suppression of the orbital magnetic moment. The emerging scenario is that of non-local orbital degrees of freedom playing a significant role in the ferromagnetic phase, with the Coulomb interaction that is crucial to make anti-aligned orbital moments at short distance resulting in a ground state with vanishing local orbital moments.

We show that the metamagnetic transition in Sr$_4$Ru$_3$O$_{10}$ bifurcates into two transitions as the field is rotated away from the conducting planes. This two-step process comprises partial or total alignment of moments in ferromagnetic bands fol
lowed by an itinerant metamagnetic transition whose critical field increases with rotation. Evidence for itinerant metamagnetism is provided by the Shubnikov-de Hass effect which shows a non-trivial evolution of the geometry of the Fermi surface and an enhancement of the quasiparticles effective-mass across the transition. The metamagnetic response of Sr$_4$Ru$_3$O$_{10}$ is orbital-dependent and involves ferromagnetic and metamagnetic bands.
We present magnetization measurements on Sr4Ru3O10 as a function of temperature and magnetic field applied perpendicular to the magnetic easy $c$-axis inside the ferromagnetic phase. Peculiar metamagnetism evolves in Sr4Ru3O10 below the ferromagnetic
transition $T_{C}$ as a double step in the magnetization at two critical fields $H_{c1}$ and $H_{c2}$. We map the $H-T$ phase diagram with special focus on the temperature range 50,K $le T le T_{C}$. We find that the critical field $H_{c1}(T)$ connects the field and temperature axes of the phase diagram, whereas the $H_{c2}$ boundary starts at 2.8,T for the lowest temperatures and ends in a critical endpoint at (1,T; 80,K). We conclude from the temperature dependence of the ratio $frac{Hc1}{Hc2}(T)$ that the double metamagnetic transition is an intrinisc effect of the material and it is not caused by sample stacking faults such as twinning or partial in-plane rotation between layers.
We report magnetization and magnetoresistivity measurements on the isostructural ferromagnetic superconductors UCoGe and URhGe in magnetic fields up to 60 T and temperatures from 1.5 to 80 K. At low-temperature, a moment polarization in UCoGe in a fi
eld $mu_0mathbf{H}parallelmathbf{b}$ of around 50 T leads to well-defined anomalies in both magnetization and magnetoresistivity. These anomalies vanish in temperatures higher than 30-40 K, where maxima in the magnetic susceptibility and the field-induced variation of the magnetoresistivity are found. A comparison is made between UCoGe and URhGe, where a moment reorientation in a magnetic field $mu_0mathbf{H}parallelmathbf{b}$ of 12 T leads to field-induced reentrant superconductivity.
We have observed the orbital ordering in the ferromagnetic Mott-insulator Lu2V2O7 by the polarized neutron diffraction technique. The orbital ordering pattern determined from the observed magnetic form factors can be explained in terms of a linear co
mbination of wave functions |yz>, |zx> and |xy>; |0> = (1/3)^(1/2) |xy> + (1/3)^(1/2)|yz> + (1/3)^(1/2) |zx> which is proportional to |(x + y + z)^2 - r^2>; where each orbital is extended toward the center-of-mass of the V tetrahedron. We discuss the stability of the ferromagnetic Lu2V2O7, using a Hubbard Hamiltonian with these three orbitals.
The magnetism in the ferromagnetic superconductor UCoGe has been studied using a combination of magnetic Compton scattering, bulk magnetization, X-ray magnetic circular dichroism and electronic structure calculations, in order to determine the spin a
nd orbital moments. The experimentally observed total spin moment, $M_s$, was found to be -0.24 $pm$ 0.05~$mu_B$ at 5~T. By comparison with the total moment of 0.16 $pm$ 0.01~$mu_B$, the orbital moment, $M_l$, was determined to be 0.40 $pm$ 0.05~$mu_B$. The U and Co spin moments were determined to be antiparallel. We find that the U 5textit{f} electrons carry a spin moment of U$_s approx$ -0.30~$mu_B$ and that there is a Co spin moment of Co$_s approx$ 0.06~$mu_B$ induced via hybridization. The ratio U$_l/$U$_s$, of $-1.3 pm 0.3$, shows the U moment to be itinerant. In order to ensure an accurate description of the properties of 5textit{f} systems, and to provide a critical test of the theoretical approaches, it is clearly necessary to obtain experimental data for both the spin and orbital moments, rather than just the total magnetic moment. This can be achieved simply by measuring the spin moment with magnetic Compton scattering and comparing this to the total moment from bulk magnetization.
