Resonant soft x-ray Bragg diffraction at the Tb M4,5 edges and non resonant Bragg diffraction have been used to investigate orbitals in TbB2C2. The Tb 4f quadrupole moments are ordered in zero field below T_N and show a ferroquadrupolar…
Topological orbital moments can arise in non-coplanar spin structures even in the absence of spin-orbit coupling and a net topological orbital magnetization occurs for the triple-Q state and for isolated skyrmions. For atomic-scale skyrmion…
We analyze a recent treatment of the interaction of a magnetic quadrupole moment with a radial electric field for a non-relativistic particle in a rotating frame and show that the derivation of the equations in the paper is anything but…
Magnetic order is usually associated with well-defined magnon excitations. Exotic magnetic fluctuations with fractional, topological or multipolar character, have been proposed for radically different forms of magnetic matter such as…
Motivated by the recent development in strong spin-orbit-coupled materials, we consider the dipole-octupole doublets on the triangular lattice. We propose the most general interaction between these unusual local moments. Due to the…
Odd-parity magnetic and magnetic toroidal multipoles in the absence of both spatial-inversion and time-reversal symmetries are sources of multiferroic and nonreciprocal optical phenomena. We investigate electronic states caused by an…
Microscopic investigation is performed for intersite multipolar interactions in the orbitally degenerate Anderson lattice, with CeB$_6$ taken as an exemplary target. In addition to the $f^0$ intermediate state, $f^2$ Hund's-rule ground…
We study the electronic origin of parasitic ferroic quadrupole moments in antiferroic quadrupole orders by extending a model studied in G. Chen et al., Phys. Rev. B 82, 174440 (2010) with the effective angular momentum $J_{\rm eff}=3/2$…
Motivated by the recent activities on the Ni-based diamond lattice antiferromagnet NiRh$_2$O$_4$, we theoretically explore on a general ground the unique spin and orbital physics for the Ni$^{2+}$ ions with a $3d^8$ electron configuration…
The quadrupole moments of odd neighbors of semi-magic lead and tin isotopes and $N=50,N=82$ isotones are calculated within the self-consistent Theory of Finite Fermi Systems based on the Energy Density Functional by Fayans et al. Two sets…
When the ground state of a localized ion is a non-Kramers doublet, such localized ions may carry multipolar moments. For example, Pr$^{3+}$ ions in a cubic environment would possess quadrupolar and octupolar, but no magnetic dipole,…
Motivated by the time-reversal symmetry breaking signal in muon spin relaxation below a transition temperature without accompanying noticeable magnetic Bragg peaks in $5d^2$ Os double perovskites, a rare ferro-octupolar order was proposed…
Spectra of one-electron and collective excitations in narrow-band ferromagnets with unquenched orbital moments are calculated in various theoretical models. The interaction of spin and orbital excitations with conduction electrons results…
This work is devoted to the analysis of orbital patterns and related to them interatomic magnetic interactions in centrosymmetric monoclinic structures of BiMnO$_3$, which have been recently determined experimentally. First, we set up an…
Understanding the interplay between topology and ordering in systems on curved manifolds, governed by anisotropic interactions, takes a central role in many fields of physics. In this paper, we investigate the effects of lattice symmetry…
Results of ab initio calculations using the relativistic Local Spin Density theory are presented for the magnetic moments of periodic 5d and 4d transition metal interfaces with bcc Fe(001). In this systematic study we calculated the…
We study here, both experimentally and theoretically, the anisotropy of magnetoresistance in atomic contacts. Our measurements on iron break junctions reveal an abrupt and hysteretic switch between two conductance levels when a large…
We numerically study orders of planer type $(xy,x^2-y^2)$ quadrupoles on a triangular lattice with nearest-neighbor isotropic $J$ and anisotropic $K$ interactions. This type of quadrupoles possesses unique single-ion anisotropy proportional…
CaBaFe4O7 is a mixed-valent transition metal oxide having both Fe2+ and Fe3+ ions in tetrahedral coordination. Here we characterize its magnetic properties by magnetization measurements and investigate its local electronic structure using…
In vortex-like spin arrangements, multiple spins can combine into emergent multipole moments. Such multipole moments have broken space-inversion and time-reversal symmetries, and can therefore exhibit linear magnetoelectric (ME) activity.…
