Magnetic response of Sr2RuO4: quasi-local spin fluctuations due to Hund's coupling
Abstract
We study the magnetic susceptibility in the normal state of Sr2RuO4 using dynamical mean-field theory including dynamical vertex corrections. Besides the well known incommensurate response, our calculations yield quasi-local spin fluctuations which are broad in momentum and centered around the point, in agreement with recent inelastic neutron scattering experiments [P. Steffens, et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 122, 047004 (2019)]. We show that these quasi-local fluctuations are controlled by the Hund's coupling and account for the dominant contribution to the momentum-integrated response. While all orbitals contribute equally to the incommensurate response, the enhanced point response originates from the planar xy orbital.
