We explore mechanisms of orbital order decay in doped Mott insulators $R_{1-x}$(Sr,Ca)$_x$VO$_3$ ($R=\,$Pr,Y,La) caused by charged (Sr,Ca) defects. Our unrestricted Hartree-Fock analysis focuses on the combined effect of random, charged…

We demonstrate that magnetic $3d$ impurities with $S=3/2$ spins and no orbital degree of freedom induce changes of spin-orbital order in a $4d^4$ Mott insulator with $S=1$ spins. Impurities act either as spin defects which decouple from the…

Roles of Coulomb interaction, orbital degeneracy and Jahn-Teller coupling in double-exchange models are examined for Mn perovskite oxides. We study the undoped Mott insulator as well as metal-insulator transitions by hole doping, and…
We elucidate the effects of defect disorder and $e$-$e$ interaction on the spectral density of the defect states emerging in the Mott-Hubbard gap of doped transition-metal oxides, such as Y$_{1-x}$Ca$_{x}$VO$_{3}$. A soft gap of kinetic…
We study the $3d$ substitution in $4d$ transition metal oxides in the cases of $3d^3$ doping at either $3d^2$ or $4d^4$ sites which realize orbital dilution. We derive the effective $3d-4d$ (or $3d-3d$) superexchange in a Mott insulator…
