The Jahn-Teller effect refers to the symmetry-lowering geometrical distortion in a crystal (or non-linear molecule) due to the presence of a degenerate electronic state. Usually, the Jahn-Teller distortion is not polar. Recently, GaV4S8…
A threefold degenerate electronic state is Jahn-Teller unstable with respect to symmetry lowering distortions, which transform as the five quadrupolar modes. The solution of the corresponding vibronic Hamiltonian is constructed using the…

Experiments on the fractional quantized Hall effect in the zeroth Landau level of graphene have revealed some striking differences between filling factors in the ranges 0<|\nu|<1 and 1<|\nu|<2. We argue that these differences can be largely…
A C$_3$-symmetric crystal-field potential in the Fe(II)Fe(III) bimetallic oxalates splits the L=2 Fe(II) multiplet into two doublets and a singlet. In compounds that exhibit magnetic compensation, one of the doublets was predicted to lie…
The Jahn-Teller effect in the charge-ordered (CO) state for La1-xCaxMnO3 (0.5<x<0.87) was studied by measuring the low-temperature powder x-ray diffraction, internal friction, and shear modulus. We find that the electron-lattice interaction…
Experiments in the antiferromagnetic phase of a quasi 2D $S=1/2$ quasi-square lattice antiferromagnet Cu(pz)2(ClO4)2 reveal a biaxial type of the anisotropy, instead of the easy-plane one, considered before. The weak in-plane anisotropy,…
