Title: Quantum liquid with strong orbital fluctuations: the case of the pyroxene family

Abstract

We discuss quasi one-dimensional magnetic Mott insulators from the pyroxene family where spin and orbital degrees of freedom remain tightly bound. Here, we analyze their excitation spectrum and outline the conditions under which the orbital degrees of freedom become liberated so that the corresponding excitations become dispersive and the spectral weight shifts to energies much smaller than the exchange integral.

Ultrafast dynamics of spin and orbital correlations in quantum materials: an energy- and momentum-resolved perspective

Journal Article Cao, Y. ; Mazzone, D. G. ; Meyers, D. ; ... - Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society. A, Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences

Many remarkable properties of quantum materials emerge from states with intricate coupling between the charge, spin and orbital degrees of freedom. Ultrafast photo-excitations of these materials hold great promise for understanding and controlling the properties of these states. Here we introduce time-resolved resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (tr-RIXS) as a means of measuring the charge, spin and orbital excitations out of equilibrium. These excitations encode the correlations and interactions that determine the detailed properties of the states generated. After outlining the basic principles and instrumentation of tr-RIXS, we review our first observations of transient antiferromagnetic correlations in quasi two dimensions inmore »« less

Designing Quantum Spin-Orbital Liquids in Artificial Mott Insulators

Journal Article Dou, Xu ; Kotov, Valeri N. ; Uchoa, Bruno - Scientific Reports

Quantum spin-orbital liquids are elusive strongly correlated states of matter that emerge from quantum frustration between spin and orbital degrees of freedom. A promising route towards the observation of those states is the creation of artificial Mott insulators where antiferromagnetic correlations between spins and orbitals can be designed. We show that Coulomb impurity lattices on the surface of gapped honeycomb substrates, such as graphene on SiC, can be used to simulate SU(4) symmetric spin-orbital lattice models. We exploit the property that massive Dirac fermions form mid-gap bound states with spin and valley degeneracies in the vicinity of a Coulomb impurity.more »« less

Mott transition controlled by lattice-orbital coupling in $3 d$ -metal-doped double-layer ruthenates

Journal Article Peng, J. ; Gu, M. Q. ; Gu, X. M. ; ... - Physical Review B

We have investigated unusual phase transitions that were triggered by chemical doping in Ca₃Ru₂O₇. Our experiments showed that doping with a few percent of Mn (>4%) can change the quasi-two-dimensional metallic state of Ca₃Ru₂O₇ into a Mott insulating state with a G-type antiferromagnetic order, but this Mott state cannot be induced by Fe doping. By combining these results with first-principles calculations, we show that lattice-orbital coupling (LOC) plays an important role in the Mott transition. Interestingly, the transition temperature T_MIT is found to be predetermined by a structural parameter denoted by c/√ab at temperatures far above Néel temperature T_N. Thismore »« less

Orbital-differentiated coherence-incoherence crossover identified by photoemission spectroscopy in LiFeAs

Journal Article Miao, H. ; Yin, Z. P. ; Wu, S. F. ; ... - Physical Review B

In the iron-based superconductors (FeSCs), orbital differentiation is an important phenomenon, whereby correlations stronger on the d_xy orbital than on the d_xz/d_yz orbital yield quasi-particles with d_xy orbital character having larger mass renormalization and abnormal temperature evolution. However, the physical origin of this orbital di erentiation is debated between the Hund's coupling induced unbinding of spin and orbital degrees of freedom and the Hubbard interaction instigated orbital selective Mott transition. Here we use angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy to identify an orbital-dependent correlation-induced quasi-particle (QP) anomaly in LiFeAs. Lastly, the excellent agreement between our photoemission measurements and first-principles many-body theory calculations showsmore »« less
