On the quantum critical point in Sr₂Ru_1−xTi_xO₄ — •Ralph Werner¹ and Sam T. Carr² — ¹Institut f"ur Theorie der Kondensierten Materie, Universit"at Karlsruhe, 76128 Karlsruhe — ²Condensed Matter Section, The Abdus Salam ICTP, Strada Costiera 11, 34014 Trieste, Italy

Upon doping with 2.5% of Ti on the Ru site Sr₂RuO₄ develops incommensurate static magnetic order which has been attributed to the nesting of the bands that form the α and β Fermi surfaces [1]. We argue that a standard Stoner mechanism modeled by RPA is insufficient to describe the transition. Instead it is proposed that the quantum critical point is driven by a weak-coupling to strong-coupling crossover which in turn is modeled in a non-perturbative manner [2]. The expected dynamical magnetic response is calculated.
