Recently, the effects of spin-orbit coupling (SOC) in correlated materials have become one
of the most actively studied subjects in condensed matter physics, as correlations and SOC …

The properties of transition metal compounds are largely determined by nontrivial interplay
of different degrees of freedom: charge, spin, lattice, and also orbital ones. Especially rich …

Describing all aspects of the physics of transition metal compounds, this book provides a
comprehensive overview of this unique and diverse class of solids. Beginning with the basic …

External control of the conductivity of correlated oxides is one of the most promising
schemes for realizing energy-efficient electronic devices. Vanadium dioxide (VO2), an …

The present review discusses different effects related to orbital degrees of freedom. Leaving
aside such aspects as the superexchange mechanism of cooperative Jahn–Teller …

We found direct experimental evidence for an orbital switching in the V 3 d states across the
metal-insulator transition in VO 2. We have used soft-x-ray absorption spectroscopy at the …

Phase competition underlies many remarkable and technologically important phenomena in
transition metal oxides. Vanadium dioxide (VO2) exhibits a first-order metal–insulator …

Using transmission electron microscopy, the anomalies in resistivity and magnetic
susceptibility at∼ 262 K in IrTe 2 are found to accompany the superlattice peaks with …

The spinel crystal system, AB 2 O 4, has been fertile ground in studying the effects of
magnetic and orbital frustration. The experimental findings, with primary focus on neutron …

We studied the structural properties of an orbital-spin-coupled spinel oxide, MnV 2 O 4,
mainly by single-crystal x-ray diffraction measurement. It was found that a structural phase …
