Anti-Jahn-Teller disproportionation and prospects for spin-triplet superconductivity in d-element compounds
Abstract
We argue that the unusual properties of a wide class of materials based on Jahn-Teller 3d and 4d ions with different crystal and electronic structures, from quasi-two-dimensional unconventional superconductors (cuprates, nickelates, ferropnictides/chalcogenides, ruthenate SrRuO4), manganites with local superconductivity to 3D ferrates (CaSr)FeO3, nickelates RNiO3 and silver oxide AgO with unusual charge and magnetic order can be explained within a single scenario. The properties of these materials are related to the instability of their highly symmetric Jahn-Teller "progenitors" with the ground orbital E-state to charge transfer with anti-Jahn-Teller disproportionation and the formation of a system of effective local composite spin-singlet or spin-triplet, electronic or hole bosons moving in a non-magnetic or magnetic lattice. These unusual systems are characterized by an extremely rich variety of phase states from non-magnetic and magnetic insulators to unusual metallic and superconducting states.
