Title: Jahn-Teller versus quantum effects in the spin-orbital material LuVO₃

Abstract

In this article, we report on combined neutron and resonant x-ray scattering results, identifying the nature of the spin-orbital ground state and magnetic excitations in LuVO₃ as driven by the orbital parameter. In particular, we distinguish between models based on orbital-Peierls dimerization, taken as a signature of quantum effects in orbitals, and Jahn-Teller distortions, in favor of the latter. In order to solve this long-standing puzzle, polarized neutron beams were employed as a prerequisite in order to solve details of the magnetic structure, which allowed quantitative intensity analysis of extended magnetic-excitation data sets. The results of this detailed study enabled us to draw definite conclusions about the classical versus quantum behavior of orbitals in this system and to discard the previous claims about quantum effects dominating the orbital physics of LuVO₃ and similar systems.

Local Jahn-Teller distortions and orbital ordering in Ba₃Cu_1+xSb_2-xO₉ investigated by neutron scattering

Journal Article Li, Bing ; Feygenson, Mikhail ; Brown, Craig M. ; ... - Physical Review B

In this study, a spin-orbital quantum liquid state is theoretically proposed in the honeycomb lattice of Ba₃CuSb₂O₉, enabled by dynamic short-range correlations between the spin and orbital degrees of freedom. Using neutron diffraction, the local atomic structure of Ba₃Cu_1+xSb_2-xO₉ at x = 0 and 0.1 is obtained via the pair density function analysis. The results indicate that both compositions exhibit local Jahn-Teller (JT) distortions with the elongated CuO₃ octahedral configuration. In Ba₃Cu_1.1Sb_1.9O₉, JT ordering of the distorted CuO₃ octahedra gives rise to the orthorhombic symmetry with ferro-orbital order. On the other hand, in Ba₃CuSb₂O₉, even though the CuO₃ octahedra aremore »« less

Origins versus fingerprints of the Jahn-Teller effect in $d$ -electron $A B X_{3}$ perovskites

Journal Article Varignon, Julien ; Bibes, Manuel ; Zunger, Alex - Physical Review Research

The Jahn-Teller distortion that can remove electronic degeneracies in partially occupied states and results in systematic atomic displacements is a common underlying feature to many of the intriguing phenomena observed in 3d perovskites, encompassing magnetism, superconductivity, orbital ordering, and colossal magnetoresistance. Although the seminal Jahn and Teller theorem was postulated almost a century ago, the origins of this effect in perovskite materials are still debated, including propositions such as superexchange, spin-phonon coupling, sterically induced lattice distortions, and strong dynamical correlation effects. Although the end result of Jahn-Teller distortions often includes a mix of such various contributions, due to coupling ofmore »« less

Strong spin–orbit quenching via the product Jahn–Teller effect in neutral group IV qubits in diamond

Journal Article Ciccarino, Christopher J. ; Flick, Johannes ; Harris, Isaac B. ; ... - npj Quantum Materials

Abstract Artificial atom qubits in diamond have emerged as leading candidates for a range of solid-state quantum systems, from quantum sensors to repeater nodes in memory-enhanced quantum communication. Inversion-symmetric group IV vacancy centers, comprised of Si, Ge, Sn, and Pb dopants, hold particular promise as their neutrally charged electronic configuration results in a ground-state spin triplet, enabling long spin coherence above cryogenic temperatures. However, despite the tremendous interest in these defects, a theoretical understanding of the electronic and spin structure of these centers remains elusive. In this context, we predict the ground-state and excited-state properties of the neutral group IVmore »« less

Electric-Field Control of Magnetization, Jahn-Teller Distortion, and Orbital Ordering in Ferroelectric Ferromagnets

Journal Article Chen, Lan ; Xu, Changsong ; Tian, Hao ; ... - Physical Review Letters

Controlling the direction of the magnetization by an electric field in multiferroics that are both ferroelectric and strongly ferromagnetic will open the door to the design of the next generation of spintronics and memory devices. Using first-principles simulations, we report that the discovery that the PbTiO₃/LaTiO₃ (PTO/LTO) superlattice possesses such highly desired control, as evidenced by the electric-field-induced rotation of 90° and even a possible full reversal of its magnetization in some cases. Moreover, such systems also exhibit Jahn-Teller distortions, as well as orbital orderings, that are switchable by the electric field, therefore making PTO/LTO of importance for the tuningmore »« less

Absence of Jahn-Teller transition in the hexagonal Ba₃CuSb₂O₉ single crystal

Journal Article Katayama, Naoyuki ; Kimura, Kenta ; Han, Yibo ; ... - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America

With decreasing temperature, liquids generally freeze into a solid state, losing entropy in the process. However, exceptions to this trend exist, such as quantum liquids, which may remain unfrozen down to absolute zero owing to strong quantum entanglement effects that stabilize a disordered state with zero entropy. Examples of such liquids include Bose-Einstein condensation of cold atoms, superconductivity, quantum Hall state of electron systems, and quantum spin liquid state in the frustrated magnets. Furthermore, recent studies have clarified the possibility of another exotic quantum liquid state based on the spin-orbital entanglement in FeSc2S4. To confirm this exotic ground state, experimentsmore »« less
