Abstract

We investigate the order parameter of Sr₂RuO₄ in an exchange-only magnetic field. A Ginzburg-Landau symmetry analysis implies three possibilities: a pure ³He A phase, a ³He A₁ or a ³He A₂ phase. We explore the exchange field dependence of the order parameter and energy gap in a one-band model of Sr₂RuO₄. The numerical solutions show no A₁ phase and that the A₂ phase is lower in free energy than the A phase. We explore heat capacity as a function of temperature and field strength and find quantitatively different behaviours for the A and A₂ phases.
