We study quantum phase transitions induced by the on-site spin-orbit interaction lambda(L.S) in a toy model of vanadium chains. In the lambda->0 limit, the decoupled spin and orbital sectors are described by a Haldane and an Ising chain,…

Phase transition and critical properties of Ising-like spin-orbital interacting systems in 2-dimensional triangular lattice are investigated. We first show that the ground state of the system is a composite spin-orbital ferro-ordered phase.…

Orbitally degenerate systems provide a promising platform for realizing novel quantum phases driven by spin-orbital exchange interactions, as described by the Kugel-Khomskii model. Spinel vanadates, in which orbital degrees of freedom…

Mott insulators with both spin and orbital degeneracy are pertinent to a large number of transition metal oxides. The intertwined spin and orbital fluctuations can lead to rather exotic phases such as quantum spin-orbital liquids. Here we…

The alloy Ca$_{2-x}$Sr$_x$RuO$_4$ exhibits a complex phase diagram with peculiar magnetic metallic phases. In this paper some aspects of this alloy are discussed based on a mean field theory for an effective Kugel-Khomskii model of…

The layered spiral magnet Cs2CuCl4 displays several interesting properties that have been suggested as evidence of proximity to a two dimensional quantum spin liquid. In this paper we study a concrete version of this proposal and suggest…

Motivated by the recent synthesis of the spin-1 A-site spinel NiRh$_{\text 2}$O$_{\text 4}$, we investigate the classical to quantum crossover of a frustrated $J_1$-$J_2$ Heisenberg model on the diamond lattice upon varying the spin length…

Spirals and helices are common motifs of long-range order in magnetic solids, and they may also be organized into more complex emergent structures such as magnetic skyrmions and vortices. A new type of spiral state, the spiral spin-liquid,…

Motivated by recent interest in quasi-one-dimensional compound CaV2O4, we study the ground states of a spin-orbital chain characterized by an Ising-like orbital Hamiltonian and frustrated interactions between S=1 spins. The on-site…

The magnetism of the rock-salt $fcc$ rare-earth monopnictide HoBi, a candidate topological material with extreme magnetoresistance, is investigated. From the Ho$^{3+}$ non-Kramers $J$=8 spin-orbital multiplet, the cubic crystal electric…

Recent measurements on MgV$_2$O$_4$ single crystal have reignited the debate on the role of spin-orbit (SO) coupling in dictating the orbital order in Vanadium spinel systems. Density functional theory calculations were performed using the…

We propose quantum phase transitions beyond the Landau's paradigm of Sp(4) spin Heisenberg models on the triangular and square lattices, motivated by the exact Sp(4)$\simeq$ SO(5) symmetry of spin-3/2 fermionic cold atomic system with only…

Low-temperature heat-capacity investigations on the spinel FeCr2S4 with ferrimagnetic spin order and orbitally degenerated Jahn-Teller active Fe2+ ions in a tetrahedral crystal field, provide experimental evidence of an orbital liquid state…

The $\mathrm{SU}(4)$ Heisenberg model on the honeycomb lattice is expected to host a quantum spin-orbital liquid at low temperature with an astonishing candidate material, $\alpha$-ZrCl$_3$. We employed the canonical thermal pure quantum…

We develop an understanding of the anomalous metal state of the parent compounds of recently discovered iron based superconductors starting from a strong coupling viewpoint, including orbital degrees of freedom. On the basis of an…

Evolution of composite spin-orbital order and coupled spin-orbital excitations is studied in a variety of $d^4$ systems with $n$=$4$ electrons in the $t_{2g}$ orbital sector using the generalised self-consistent + fluctuations approach for…

By introducing a basis for a novel realization of the SU(4) Lie algebra, we exactly solve a spin-orbital chain with one-ion $L$-$S$ coupling (OILSC) via the Bethe ansatz (BA) approach. In the context of different Land\'e $g$ factors of the…

Motivated by recent experimental progress in transition metal oxides with the K$_2$NiF$_4$ structure, we investigate the magnetic and orbital ordering in $\alpha$-Sr$_2$CrO$_4$. Using first principles calculations, first we derive a…

Charge, spin, and orbital degrees of freedom underlie the physics of transition metal compounds. Much work has revealed quantum critical points associated with spin and charge degrees of freedom in many of these systems. Here we illustrate…

Motivated by the absence of both spin freezing and a cooperative Jahn-Teller effect at the lowest measured temperatures, we study the ground state of Ba3CuSb2O9. We solve a general spin-orbital model on both the honeycomb and the decorated…
