We investigate the spectral function of a hole moving in the orbital-ordered ferromagnetic planes of LaMnO$_3$, and show that it depends critically on the type of orbital ordering. While the hole does not couple to the spin excitations, it…

We use neutron scattering to study the lattice and magnetic structure of the layered half-doped manganite Pr$_{0.5}$Ca$_{1.5}$MnO$_4$. On cooling from high temperature, the system first becomes charge- and orbital- ordered (CO/OO) near…

We demonstrate with LSDA+U calculations that x-ray scattering at the K edge of Mn is sensitive to orbital ordering in one energy range and Jahn-Teller distortion in another. Contrary to what is suggested by atomic or cluster models used to…

In the light of recent interesting experimental work on MgV$_2$O$_4$ we employ the density functional theory to investigate the crucial role played by different interaction parameters in deciding its electronic and magnetic properties. The…

Motivated by the recent ARPES measurements (Evtushinsky et. al., PRL {\bf 105}, 147201 (2010)) and evidence for the density-wave state for the charge and orbital ordering (Garc\'{i}a et al., PRL {\bf 109}, 107202 (2012)) in…

We report resonant x-ray scattering studies of charge and orbital order in Pr_{1-x}Ca_{x}MnO_3 with x=0.4 and 0.5. Below the ordering temperature, T_O=245 K, the charge and orbital order intensities follow the same temperature dependence,…

MgV$_{2}$O$_{4}$ is a spinel based on magnetic V$^{3+}$ ions which host both spin ($S=1$) and orbital ($l_{eff}=1$) moments. Owing to the underlying pyrochlore coordination of the magnetic sites, the spins in MgV$_{2}$O$_{4}$ only…
