The evolution of spin- and orbital-ordered states has been systematically investigated for a series of insulating perovskites $R$MnO$_3$ ($R$=La,Pr,Nd,...). $R$MnO$_3$ with a large GdFeO$_3$-type distortion is regarded as a frustrated spin…
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…
Discrete-spin systems with maximally random nearest-neighbor interactions that can be symmetric or asymmetric, ferromagnetic or antiferromagnetic, including off-diagonal disorder, are studied, for the number of states $q=3,4$ in $d$…
We present evidence that the insulator to metal transition in (La,Ca)MnO3 near x~0.2 is driven by the suppression of coherent Jahn-Teller distortions, originating from d type orbital ordering. The orbital ordered state is characterised by…
We consider paradigmatic quenched disordered quantum spin models, viz., the XY spin glass and random-field XY models, and show that quenched averaged quantum correlations can exhibit the order-from-disorder phenomenon for finite-size…
We establish a novel mechanism of stripe formation in doped systems with alternating $t_{2g}$ orbital order --- the stripe takes the form of a ferro-orbitally ordered domain wall separating domains with staggered order and allowing for…
How condensed-matter simulations depend on the number of molecules being simulated ($N$) is sometimes itself a valuable piece of information. Liquid crystals provide a case in point. Light scattering and $2d$-IR experiments on…
The article reviews recent results for the low energy physics of fast tunneling centers in metallic environments. For strong enough couplings to the environment these tunneling centers display an orbital Kondo effect and give rise to a…
Quenched disorder can destroy magnetic order, for example when a random field is applied in a 2-dimensional Ising model. Even when an order exists in the presence of quenched disorder, it is usually only the survival of the order of the…
The correlated motion of electrons in the presence of strong orbital fluctuations and correlations is investigated with respect to magnetic couplings and excitations in an orbitally degenerate ferromagnet. Introduction of the orbital degree…
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…
An orbital ordering, often observed in Mott insulators with orbital degeneracy, is usually supposed to disappear with doping, e.g. in the ferromagnetic metallic phase of manganites. We propose that the orbital ordering of a novel type may…
X-ray resonant scattering at the K-edge of transition metal oxides is shown to measure the orbital order parameter, supposed to accompany magnetic ordering in some cases. Virtual transitions to the 3d-orbitals are quadrupolar in general. In…
We present the results of our theoretical study on the effects of geometrical frustration and the interplay between spin and orbital degrees of freedom in vanadium spinel oxides $A$V$_2$O$_4$ ($A$ = Zn, Mg or Cd). Introducing an effective…
Carrier-induced ferromagnetism is investigated in a diluted Hubbard model for ordered impurity arrangements. The delicate competition between particle-hole processes contributing to the spin couplings results in a rich variety of behaviour.…
Our understanding of phases of matter relies on symmetry breaking, one example being water ice whose crystalline structure breaks the continuous translation symmetry of space. Recently, breaking of time translation symmetry was observed in…
In strongly correlated multi-orbital systems, various ordered phases appear. In particular, the orbital order in iron-based superconductors attracts much attention since it is considered to be the origin of the nematic state. In order to…
Long range orbital order has been investigated in Fe$_{1-x}$Mn$_x$V$_2$O$_4$ as a function of doping (x) using first principles density functional theory calculations including the effects of Coulomb correlation and spin-orbit interaction…
Fluctuation-dominated phase ordering refers to a steady state in which the magnitude of long-range order varies strongly owing to fluctuations, and to the associated coarsening phenomena during the approach to steady state. Strong…
The influence of non magnetic impurities in the 2d XY model is investigated through Monte Carlo (MC) simulations. The general picture of the transition is fully understood from the Harris criterion which predicts that the universality class…
