Missing magnetism in Sr4Ru3O10: Indication for Antisymmetric Exchange Interaction

Abstract Metamagnetism occuring inside a ferromagnetic phase is peculiar. Therefore, Sr4Ru3O10, a T C  = 105 K ferromagnet, has attracted much attention in recent years, because it develops a pronounced metamagnetic anomaly below T C for magnetic fields applied in the crystallographic ab-plane. The...
