Abstract
For single-crystal samples of the (Sr1−x Lax)3Ru2O7 ruthenates, the temperature dependence of the thermal expansion coefficient α(T)) is measured in the range 4.2–80 K. The effect of magnetic fields H ≤ 3.5 T on thermal expansion is analyzed. It is found that the (Sr1−x Lax)3Ru2O7 ruthenates exhibit an anomalous (negative) thermal expansion coefficient in the temperature range T ≤ 18 K. The position and width of the anomaly revealed in the temperature dependence of the thermal expansion coefficient α(T)) depend substantially on the magnetic field. The origin of the thermal expansion anomaly in ruthenates, the correlation of this anomaly with the stability of the crystal lattice, and the common nature of the anomalies in the thermal properties of ruthenates and high-temperature superconductors are discussed.
