Bulk rutile RuO$_2$ has long been considered a Pauli paramagnet. Here we report that RuO$_2$ exhibits a hitherto undetected lattice distortion below approximately 900 K. The distortion is accompanied by antiferromagnetic order up to at least 300 K with a small room temperature magnetic moment of approximately 0.05 $mu_B$ as evidenced by polarized neutron diffraction. Density functional theory plus $U$ (DFT+$U$) calculations indicate that antiferromagnetism is favored even for small values of the Hubbard $U$ of the order of 1 eV. The antiferromagnetism may be traced to a Fermi surface instability, lifting the band degeneracy imposed by the rutile crystal field. The combination of high Neel temperature and small itinerant moments make RuO$_2$ unique among ruthenate compounds and among oxide materials in general.

FeGe_2, and lightly doped compounds based on it, have a Fermi surface driven instability which drive them into an incommensurate spin density wave state. Studies of the temperature and magnetic field dependence of the resistivity have been used to de
termine the magnetic phase diagram of the pure material which displays an incommensurate phase at high temperatures and a commensurate structure below 263 K in zero field. Application of a magnetic field in the tetragonal basal plane decreases the range of temperatures over which the incommensurate phase is stable. We have used inelastic neutron scattering to measure the spin dynamics of FeGe_2. Despite the relatively isotropic transport the magnetic dynamics is quasi-one dimensional in nature. Measurements carried out on HET at ISIS have been used to map out the spin wave dispersion along the c-axis up the 400 meV, more than an order of magnitude higher than the zone boundary magnon for wavevectors in the basal plane.
Compounds based on the Fe2P structure have continued to attract interest because of the interplay between itinerant and localized magnetism in a non-centrosymmetric crystal structure, and because of the recent developments of these materials for magn
etocaloric applications. Here we report the growth and characterization of mm size single crystals of FeMnP0.8Si0.2. Single crystal x-ray diffraction, magnetization, resistivity, Hall and heat capacity data are reported. Surprisingly, the crystals exhibit itinerant antiferromagnetic order below 158 K with no hint of ferromagnetic behavior in the magnetization curves and with the spins ordered primarily in the ab plane. The room temperature resistivity is close to the Ioffe-Regel limit for a metal. Single crystal x-ray diffraction indicates a strong preference for Mn to occupy the larger pyramidal 3g site. The cation site preference in the as-grown crystals and the antiferromagnetism are not changed after high temperature anneals and a rapid quench to room temperature.
We present a computational study of antiferromagnetic transition in RuO$_2$. The rutile structure with the magnetic sublattices coupled by $pi/2$-rotation leads to a spin-polarized band structure in the antiferromagnetic state, which gives rise to a
$d$-wave modulation of the Fermi surface in the spin-triplet channel. We argue a finite spin conductivity that changes sign in the $ab$ plane is expected RuO$_2$ because of this band structure. We analyze the origin of the antiferromagnetic instability and link it to presence of a nodal line close to the Fermi level.
We studied the magnetic ordering of thin films and bulk crystals of rutile RuO$_2$ using resonant X-ray scattering across the Ru L$_2$ absorption edge. Combining polarization analysis and azimuthal-angle dependence of the magnetic Bragg signal, we ha
ve established the presence of G-type antiferromagnetism in RuO$_2$ with T$_N$ $>$ 300 K. In addition to revealing a spin-ordered ground state in the simplest ruthenium oxide compound, the persistence of magnetic order even in nanometer-thick films lays the ground for potential applications of RuO$_2$ in antiferromagnetic spintronics.
A framework is presented for modeling and understanding magnetic excitations in localized, intermediate coupling magnets where the interplay between spin-orbit coupling, magnetic exchange, and crystal field effects are known to create a complex lands
cape of unconventional magnetic behaviors and ground states. A spin-orbit exciton approach for modeling these excitations is developed based upon a Hamiltonian which explicitly incorporates single-ion crystalline electric field and spin exchange terms. This framework is then leveraged to understand a canonical Van Vleck $jrm{_{eff}}=0$ singlet ground state whose excitations are coupled spin and crystalline electric field levels. Specifically, the anomalous Higgs mode [Jain et al. Nat. Phys. 13, 633 (2017)], spin-waves [S. Kunkem{o}ller et al. Phys. Rev. Lett. 115, 247201 (2015)], and orbital excitations [L. Das et al. Phys. Rev. X 8, 011048 (2018)] in the multiorbital Mott insulator Ca$_2$RuO$_4$ are captured and good agreement is found with previous neutron and inelastic x-ray spectroscopic measurements. Furthermore, our results illustrate how a crystalline electric field-induced singlet ground state can support coherent longitudinal, or amplitude excitations, and transverse wavelike dynamics. We use this description to discuss mechanisms for accessing a nearby critical point.
