Coexistence of various ordered chaotic states in a Hamiltonian system is studied with the use of a symplectic coupled map lattice. Besides the clustered states for the attractive interaction, a novel chaotic ordered state is found for a…
Dilution effects on the long-range ordered state of the doubly degenerate $e_g$ orbital are investigated. Quenched impurities without the orbital degree of freedom are introduced in the orbital model where the long-range order is realized…
First-order structural phase transition is a common phenomenon in materials that qualitatively alters their physical properties. Yet, the abrupt first-order nature is usually unexplained by realistic computations, implying an omission of…

We study ordering mechanisms which are induced by the quantum fluctuation in fully frustrated Ising spin systems. Since there are many degenerated states in frustrated systems, "order by thermal disorder" often takes place due to a kind of…

The Jahn-Teller distortive transition of \lmo is described by a modified 3-state Potts model. The interactions between the three possible orbits depends both on the orbits and their relative orientation on the lattice. Values of the two…

The functional properties of transition metal perovskite oxides are known to result from a complex interplay of magnetism, polarization, strain, and stoichiometry. Here, we show that for materials with a cooperative Jahn-Teller distortion,…
Transition metal oxides are a rich group of materials with very interesting physical properties that arise from the interplay of the charge, spin, orbital, and lattice degrees of freedom. One interesting consequence of this, encountered in…
