Critical Behavior and Anisotropy in Single Crystal SrRuO 3<br />

Magnetization (µ B /Ru)<br />

The temperature dependence of M along the easy direction is shown in<br />

Figure A- 6 for various applied fields. The demagnetization field of 4πNM ≈<br />

800 Oe should be subtracted from the applied field to give the internal field.<br />

Between 5 K and 100 K, and for internal fields from 0.2 kOe to 68 kOe the<br />

magnetization is well approximated by M = M 0 (1 - (T/Θ 2 ) 2 ) where M 0 and Θ 2<br />

are fitting parameters. Other possible analyses are discussed below.<br />

SrRuO 3 single crystal along easy [110] direction. Inset shows<br />

the approximate T 2 dependence of the magnetization.<br />

The low temperature magnetization data (Figure A- 1) of bulk SrRuO 3 can<br />

be explained with 〈110〉 easy directions and a large cubic, but very little<br />

uniaxial, magnetocrystalline anisotropy. The low coercivity of the crystals<br />
