Abstract Low-temperature thermal conductivity (), as well as the magnetic properties and specific heat, are studied for the frustrated zigzag spin-chain material SrErO by using single-crystal samples. The specific heat data indicate the long-range antiferromagnetic transition at K and the existence of strong magnetic fluctuations. The magnetizations at very low temperatures for magnetic field along the axis (spin chain direction) or the axis reveal the field-induced magnetic transitions. The shows a strong dependence on magnetic field, applied along the axis or the axis, which is closely related to the magnetic transitions. Furthermore, high magnetic field induces a strong increase of . These results indicate that thermal conductivity along either the axis or the axis are mainly contributed by phonons, while magnetic excitations play a role of scattering phonons.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
