Abstract

We report new observation of cooperative paramagnetic fluctuations of Ru4+ spins that coexist with the non-Fermi liquid state in CaRuO3 perovskite below T22 K. Detailed electrical, magnetic and neutron scattering measurements reveal that the RuR+ ions reside in magnetic field independent random domains with dynamic properties that are reminiscent of the cooperative paramagnetic fluctuations. The linear (E/T}) scaling of the dynamic susceptibilities and divergence of the mean relaxation time as T - 0 K suggest quasi-local critical nature of the spin fluctuations. We argue that the non-Fermi liquid behavior arises due to the quantum critical nature of the cooperative paramagnetic fluctuations in CaRuO3.
