Determination of the orbital moment and crystal-field splitting in LaTiO3.

چکیده
Utilizing a sum rule in a spin-resolved photoelectron spectroscopic experiment with circularly polarized light, we show that the orbital moment in LaTiO3 is strongly reduced from its ionic value, both below and above the Ne el temperature. Using Ti L2,3 x-ray absorption spectroscopy as a local probe, we found that the crystal-field splitting in the t2g subshell is about 0.12-0.30 eV. This large splitting does not facilitate the formation of an orbital liquid.

Structural distortions and orbital ordering in LaTiO3 and YTiO3
– Theoretical investigations of the electronic, magnetic and structural properties of LaTiO3 and YTiO3 have been made. In the framework of GGA and GGA+U scheme we analyzed the effect of the local Coulomb interaction (U) value on the atomic forces acting in the experimental structure. The optimal parameters of the electron-electron on-site interactions as well as the orbital configurations and m...
متن کاملMagnetic Structure of the Jahn-Teller System LaTiO3
We investigate the effect of the experimentally observed Jahn-Teller distortion of the oxygen octahedra in LaTiO3 on the magnetic exchange. We present a localized model for the effective hopping between nearestneighbor Ti ions and the intrasite Coulomb interactions, based on a nondegenerate orbital ground state due to the static crystal field. The latter corresponds to an orbital order which ha...
متن کاملPhotonic Lattice of Coupled Microcavities in Nonpermanent Gravitational Field Produced by Rotation
Rotation-induced splitting of the otherwise degenerate photonic bands is predicted for a two-dimensional photonic crystal made of evanescently coupled microcavities. The symmetry-broken energy splitting is similar to the Zeeman splitting of atomic levels or electron’s (hole’s) magnetic moment sublevels in an external magnetic field. The orbital motion of photons in periodic photonic lattice of ...

We study the interplay of crystal field splitting and Hund coupling in a two-orbital model which captures the essential physics of systems with two electrons or holes in the e(g) shell. We use single site dynamical mean field theory with a recently developed impurity solver, which is able to access strong couplings and low temperatures. The fillings of the orbitals and the location of phase bou...
