Non-local electronic correlations and spin excitations in Sr₂RuO₄ — •Maria Chatzieleftheriou¹, Silke Biermann^1,2,3, Yvan Sidis⁴, and Evgeny Stepanov^1,2 — ¹Ecole Polytechnique, Palaiseau, France — ²Collège de France, Paris, France — ³ETSF, Palaiseau, France — ⁴CEA/CNRS, Gif-sur-Yvette, France

In this work we study the effect of non-local correlations on the electronic properties of Sr₂RuO₄. We go beyond the state-of-the-art single-site description of Dynamical Mean-Field Theory (DMFT) [1] by deploying the D-TRILEX [2-4] self-consistent diagrammatic expansion method. We calculate the magnetic susceptibility and find that accounting for spatial fluctuations indeed leads to a very good agreement with the experimental evidence. In particular, we find an accurate description of the static spin susceptibility and observe a dome-like structure centred around the Γ point, in agreement with the experimental evidence and in contrast to previous theoretical studies. Moreover, we observe the quasi-ferromagnetic fluctuations reported in the experimental work [5] upon increasing the Hund’s exchange coupling.
