A SYSTEMATIC STUDY OF THERMODYNAMIC AND TRANSPORT PROPERTIES OF LAYERED Ca<sub>n+1</sub>(Ru<sub>1-x</sub>Cr<sub>x</sub>)<sub>n</sub>O<sub>3n+1</sub>

Orbital degrees of freedom play vital role in prompting novel phenomena in ruthenium based Ruddlesden-Popper compounds through coupling of orbits to spin and lattice. Physical properties are then particularly susceptible to small perturbations by external magnetic fields and/or slight structural cha...
