Spin, Orbital, and Spin-Orbital Polarons in Transition Metal Oxides
I give a brief overview of a polaron formation in three distinct transition metal oxides: (i) spin polaron when a hole is added to the antiferromagnetic (AF) ordered plane in La2CuO4, (ii) orbital polaron when a hole is added to the alternating orbital (AO) ordered plane in LaMnO3, and (iii) spin-orbital polaron when a hole is added to the AF and AO ordered plane in LaVO3. Comparison of the dis...
متن کاملOrbital Ordering and Orbital Fluctuations in Transition Metal Oxides
We summarize some characteristic features of the frustrated magnetic interactions in spin-orbital models adequate for cubic transition metal oxides with orbital degeneracy. A generic tendency towards dimerization, found already in the degenerate Hubbard model, is confirmed for t2g but not for eg systems. In the t2g case the quantum orbital fluctuations are more pronounced and contribute to a st...
متن کاملSpin–Orbital Physics in Transition Metal Oxides
We present the main features of the spin-orbital superexchange which describes the magnetic and optical properties of Mott insulators with orbital degrees of freedom. In contrast to the SU(2) symmetry of spin superexchange, the orbital part of the superexchange obeys the lower cubic symmetry of the lattice and is intrinsically frustrated. This intrinsic frustration and spin-orbital entanglement...
متن کاملOptical study of orbital excitations in transition-metal oxides
The orbital excitations of a series of transition-metal compounds are studied by means of optical spectroscopy. Our aim was to identify signatures of collective orbital excitations by comparison with experimental and theoretical results for predominantly local crystal-field excitations. To this end, we have studied TiOCl, RTiO3 (R=La, Sm, Y), LaMnO3, Y2BaNiO5, CaCu2O3, and K4Cu4OCl10, ranging f...
متن کاملOrbital-assisted metal-insulator transition in VO2.
We found direct experimental evidence for an orbital switching in the V 3d states across the metal-insulator transition in VO2. We have used soft-x-ray absorption spectroscopy at the V L2,3 edges as a sensitive local probe and have determined quantitatively the orbital polarizations. These results strongly suggest that, in going from the metallic to the insulating state, the orbital occupation ...
