Ultrasound velocity measurements of cubic spinel GeCo$_2$O$_4$ in single crystal were performed for the investigation of shear and compression moduli. The shear moduli in the paramagnetic state reveal an absence of Jahn-Teller activity…
Exotic quantum phases, arising from a complex interplay of charge, spin, lattice and orbital degrees of freedom, are of immense interest to a wide research community. A well-known example of such an entangled behavior is the Jahn-Teller…
Superconductivity in the family of spinel oxides is very rare owing to their robust Mott-insulating nature. About half a century ago, LiTi$_2$O$_4$ became the first reported spinel compound to show superconductivity with a 12K transition…
The lacunar spinel GeV4S8 undergoes orbital and ferroelectric ordering at the Jahn-Teller transition around 30 K and exhibits antiferromagnetic order below about 14 K. In addition to this orbitally driven ferroelectricity, lacunar spinels…
Using high resolution X-Ray diffraction (XRD) on high purity powders, we resolved the structure and $ab$ symmetry of the intriguing compound \svo$ $ from room temperature down to 20 K to an unprecedented level of accuracy. Upon cooling,…
The mixed-valence perovskitelike manganites are characterized by unique interrelation of Jahn-Teller distortions, electric and magnetic properties. The Jahn-Teller distortion follows the Mn(3+)->Mn(4+) charge transfer with some delay. Its…
We investigate the evolution of spin and orbital order in undoped LaMnO$_3$ under increasing temperature with a model including both superexchange and Jahn-Teller interactions. We used several cluster mean field calculation schemes and find…
The Jahn-Teller effect is a fascinating and ubiquitous phenomenon in modern quantum physics and chemistry. We propose a class of oxides with melilite structure Ba$_2$TGe$_2$O$_7$ (T=V,Ni) where Jahn-Teller distortions are the main…
This paper reviews recent experimental and theoretical developments of the dynamic Jahn-Teller effect-driven phenomena in heavy transition metal-based spin-orbit Mott insulators. In cubic $4d/5d$ transition metal compounds, the spin,…
Using density-functional theory calculations and experimental investigations on structural, magnetic and dielectric properties, we have elucidated a unique tetragonal ground state for MnTi2O4, a Ti^{3+} (3d^1)-ion containing spinel-oxide.…
At room temperature, the normal oxide spinels NiCr_2O_4 and CuCr_2O_4 are tetragonally distorted and crystallize in the I4_1/amd space group due to cooperative Jahn-Teller ordering driven by the orbital degeneracy of tetrahedral Ni$^{2+}$…
Motivated by recent experiments, we present a comprehensive theoretical study of the geometrically frustrated strongly correlated magnetic insulator Mn$_3$O$_4$ spinel oxide based on a microscopic Hamiltonian involving lattice, spin and…
We investigate LiVS2 and LiVSe2 with a triangular lattice as itinerant analogues of LiVO2, known for the formation of valence bond solid (VBS) state out of S = 1 frustrated magnet. LiVS2, which is located at the border between a metal and a…
We discuss how orbital degeneracy, which is usually removed by a cooperative Jahn-Teller distortion, could under appropriate circumstances lead rather to a Resonating Valence Bond spin-orbital liquid. The key points are: i) The tendency to…
Few materials undergo cooperative Jahn-Teller (JT) transitions at low temperatures, but zircon-type oxides are one class that includes DyVO$_4$, which transforms from a tetragonal to an orthorhombic structure at around 13.6 K, with a narrow…
The lacunar spinel GaNb$_4$Se$_8$ is a tetrahedral cluster Mott insulator where spin-orbit coupling on molecular orbitals and Jahn-Teller energy scales are competitive. GaNb$_4$Se$_8$ undergoes a structural and anti-polar ordering…
Structural properties of CuAl$_{2}$O$_{4}$, which was recently argued to show unusual suppression of the Jahn-Teller distortions by the spin-orbit coupling, are investigated under pressures up to 6 GPa. Analysis of X-ray powder diffraction…
The longitudinal ultrasonic sound velocity and attenuation, the resistivity, and lattice parameters were studied as a function of temperature from 30 K to 300 K in La1-xCaxMnO3 (0.5<x<0.9). For all the samples, a dramatic stiffening of the…
We report on high-temperature electron spin resonance studies of a detwinned LaMnO$_3$ single crystal across the Jahn-Teller transition at $T_{\rm JT}$ = 750 K. The anisotropy of the linewidth and g-factor reflects the local Jahn-Teller…
Dynamical properties of the lattice structure was studied by optical spectroscopy in ACr2O4 chromium spinel oxide magnetic semiconductors over a broad temperature region of T=10-335K. The systematic change of the A-site ions (A=Mn, Fe, Co,…
