We report a polarization-resolved Raman spectroscopy study of the orbital dependence of the quasiparticles properties in the prototypical multi-band Fermi liquid Srtextsubscript{2}RuOtextsubscript{4}. We show that the quasiparticle scattering rate displays $omega^{2}$ dependence as expected for a Fermi liquid. Besides, we observe a clear polarization-dependence in the energy and temperature dependence of the quasiparticle scattering rate and mass, with the $d_{xz/yz}$ orbital derived quasiparticles showing significantly more robust Fermi liquid properties than the $d_{xy}$ orbital derived ones. The observed orbital dichotomy of the quasiparticles is consistent with the picture of Srtextsubscript{2}RuOtextsubscript{4} as a Hunds metal. Our study establishes Raman scattering as a powerful probe of Fermi liquid properties in correlated metals.

The strange metal is an enigmatic phase whose properties are irreconcilable with the established Fermi liquid theory of conductors. A fundamental question is whether a strange metal and a Fermi liquid are distinct phases of matter, or whether a mater
ial can be intermediate between or in a superposition of the two. We studied the collective density response of the correlated metal Sr$_2$RuO$_4$ by momentum-resolved electron energy-loss spectroscopy (M-EELS). We discovered that a broad continuum of non-propagating charge fluctuations (a characteristic of strange metals) and also a dispersing Fermi liquid-like collective mode at low energies and long wavelengths coexist in the same material at the same temperature. These features exhibit a spectral weight redistribution and velocity renormalization when we cool the material through the quasiparticle coherence temperature. Our results show not only that strange metal and Fermi liquid phenomena can coexist but also that Sr$_2$RuO$_4$ serves as an ideal test case for studying the interaction between the two.
We discovered a fractional Chern structure in chiral superconducting Sr$_2$RuO$_4$ nanofilms by employing electric transport. By using Sr$_2$RuO$_4$ single crystals with nanoscale thickness, a fractional Hall conductance was observed without an exter
nal magnetic field. The Sr$_2$RuO$_4$ nanofilms enhanced the superconducting transition temperature to about 3 K. We found an anomalous induced voltage with temperature and thickness dependence, and the switching behavior of the induced voltage appeared when we applied a magnetic field. We suggest that there was fractional magnetic-field-induced electric polarization in the interlayer. These anomalous results are related to topological invariance. The fractional axion angle $theta=pi/6$ is determined by observing the topological magneto-electric effect in Sr$_2$RuO$_4$ nanofilms.
The single-layered ruthenate Sr$_2$RuO$_4$ is one of the most enigmatic unconventional superconductors. While for many years it was thought to be the best candidate for a chiral $p$-wave superconducting ground state, desirable for topological quantum
computations, recent experiments suggest a singlet state, ruling out the original $p$-wave scenario. The superconductivity as well as the properties of the multi-layered compounds of the ruthenate perovskites are strongly influenced by a van Hove singularity in proximity of the Fermi energy. Tiny structural distortions move the van Hove singularity across the Fermi energy with dramatic consequences for the physical properties. Here, we determine the electronic structure of the van Hove singularity in the surface layer of Sr$_2$RuO$_4$ by quasiparticle interference imaging. We trace its dispersion and demonstrate from a model calculation accounting for the full vacuum overlap of the wave functions that its detection is facilitated through the octahedral rotations in the surface layer.
We have studied the influence of a magnetic field on the thermodynamic properties of Ca$_{2-x}$Sr$_{x}$RuO$_4$ in the intermediate metallic region with tilt and rotational distortions ($0.2leq x leq 0.5$). We find strong and anisotropic thermal expan
sion anomalies at low temperatures, which are suppressed and even reversed by a magnetic field. The metamagnetic transition of Ca$_{1.8}$Sr$_{0.2}$RuO$_4$ is accompanied by a large magnetostriction. Furthermore, we observe a strong magnetic-field dependence of $c_p/T$, that can be explained by magnetic fluctuations.
We report optical measurements demonstrating that the low-energy relaxation rate ($1/tau$) of the conduction electrons in Sr$_2$RuO$_4$ obeys scaling relations for its frequency ($omega$) and temperature ($T$) dependence in accordance with Fermi-liqu
id theory. In the thermal relaxation regime, $1/taupropto (hbaromega)^2 + (ppikB T)^2$ with $p=2$, and $omega/T$ scaling applies. Many-body electronic structure calculations using dynamical mean-field theory confirm the low-energy Fermi-liquid scaling, and provide quantitative understanding of the deviations from Fermi-liquid behavior at higher energy and temperature. The excess optical spectral weight in this regime provides evidence for strongly dispersing resilient quasiparticle excitations above the Fermi energy.
