Motivated by recent observation of nematicity in Moir\'{e} systems, we study three different orbital orders that potentially can happen in Moir\'{e} systems: (1) the nematic order; (2) the valley polarization; and (3) the "compass order".…
Frustration refers to competition between different interactions that cannot be simultaneously satisfied, a familiar feature in many magnetic solids. Strong frustration results in highly degenerate ground states, and a large suppression of…

The interplay between spin and orbital degrees of freedom in the Mott-Hubbard insulator is studied by considering an orbitally degenerate superexchange model. We argue that orbital order and the orbital excitation gap in this model are…
We consider a superexchange Hamiltonian, $H=-\sum_{<i,j>}(2{\bf S}_i\cdot {\bf S}_j-\frac 12)(2{\bf T}_i\cdot {\bf T}_j-\frac 12)$, which describes systems with orbital degeneracy and strong electron-phonon coupling in the limit of large…

We investigate a detail of a dodecamer cluster ordering in a double-exchange spin ice model on a kagom\'e lattice. In frustrated systems, ordinary spin orderings are suppressed and macroscopic degeneracy remains down to low temperatures. In…
