Theory of Strain-Induced Magnetic Order and Splitting of $T_c$ and $T_{\mathrm{TRSB}}$ in Sr${}_2$RuO${}_4$

Abstract

The internal structure of the superconducting state in Sr${}_2$RuO${}_4$ remains elusive at present, and exhibits evidence for time-reversal symmetry breaking. Recent muon spin relaxation measurements under uniaxial strain have revealed an increasing splitting between the superconducting critical temperature $T_c$ and the onset of time-reversal symmetry breaking $T_{\mathrm{TRSB}}$ with applied strain [Grinenko et al., arXiv:2001.08152]. In addition, static magnetic order is induced by the uniaxial strain beyond $\sim$1 GPa, indicating that unstrained Sr${}_2$RuO${}_4$ is close to a magnetic quantum critical point. Here, we perform a theoretical study of the magnetic susceptibility and the associated pairing structure as a function of uniaxial strain. It is found that the recent muon relaxation data can be qualitatively explained from the perspective of spin-fluctuation mediated pairing and the associated strain-dependence of accidentally degenerate pair states in unstrained Sr${}_2$RuO${}_4$. In addition, while unstrained Sr${}_2$RuO${}_4$ features mainly $(2\pi /3,2\pi /3)$ magnetic fluctuations, uniaxial strain promotes $(\pi ,\pm \pi /2)$ magnetism.
