A synchrotron x-ray diffraction study of the crystallographic structure of PrO2 in the Jahn-Teller distorted phase is reported. The distortion of the oxygen sublattice, which was previously ambiguous, is shown to be a chiral structure in…
We report neutron diffraction data on single crystal PrO2 which reveal a cooperative Jahn-Teller distortion at TD = 120 +/- 2 K. Below this temperature an internal distortion of the oxygen sublattice causes the unit cell of the…
High-pressure infrared transmission measurements on \PhC60 were performed up to 9 GPa over a broad frequency range (200 - 20000 cm$^{-1}$) to monitor the vibrational and electronic/vibronic excitations under pressure. The four fundamental…
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,…
The Jahn-Teller effect of C$_{60}$ anions in the first electronically excited states was theoretically investigated. The orbital vibronic coupling parameters for the $t_{1g}$ next lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals were derived from the…
It is shown that the d8 electron system occurring in the Ni2+ ion can have the non-magnetic ground state in the atomic scale formed by the Jahn-Teller effect. The tetragonal/trigonal off-cubic lattice distortion for the octahedral site…
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…
We report the first direct observation of the influence of high magnetic fields on the Jahn-Teller (JT) transition in TbVO4. Contrary to spectroscopic and magnetic methods, X-ray diffraction directly measures the JT distortion; the…
We present the fingerprints of dynamic Jahn-Teller effect in resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) spectra of K$_2$RuCl$_6$. We determined the dynamic Jahn-Teller model Hamiltonian of an embedded Ru$^{4+}$ ion using post Hartree-Fock…
We use neutron scattering to study the Pr$^{3+}$ crystalline electric field (CEF) excitations in the filled skutterudite PrOs$_4$As$_{12}$. By comparing the observed levels and their strengths under neutron excitation with the theoretical…
PrCo$_2$Ga$_8$ is an orthorhombic quasi-skutterudite type compound which crystallizes in the CaCo$_2$Al$_8$ structure type, with space group $Pbam$ (No. 55). The Pr$^{3+}$ ion has a site symmetry of $C_s$ which predicts a crystal electric…
The long-range spectral density correlations (spectral rigidities $\bar{\Delta}_3(\bar n)$ and related spectral compressibilities) of the $E\otimes (b_1+b_2)$ Jahn-Teller model are found strongly nonuniversal with respect to the Hamiltonian…
Magnetic excitations of the filled skutterudite PrRu4P12 exhibiting a metal-insulator (M-I) transition at TM-I= 63 K were studied by inelastic neutron scattering experiment. The spectra at temperatures much lower than TM-I are described as…
We have synthesized a new quaternary borocarbide PrPd$_{2}$B$_{2}$C and measured its magnetization, electrical resistivity and specific heat. The compound crystallizes in the LuNi$_{2}$B$_{2}$C-type tetragonal structure (space group {\it…
We introduce an effective model for $e_g$ electrons to describe quasi-two-dimensional layered La$_{2-x}$Sr$_{x}$NiO$_4$ nickelates and study it using correlated wave functions on $8 \times 8 $ and $6 \times 6 $ clusters. The effective…
The compound PrFe$_2$Al$_8$ possesses a three-dimensional network structure resulting from the packing of Al polyhedra centered at the transition metal element Fe and the rare earth Pr. Along the $c$-axis, Fe and Pr form {\em chains} which…
The dynamical Jahn-Teller effect of C$_{60}^{n-}$ anions ($n = $ 1-5) is studied using the numerical diagonalization of the linear $p^n \otimes 8d$ Jahn-Teller Hamiltonian with the currently established coupling parameters. It is found that…
Artificial atom qubits in diamond have emerged as leading candidates for a range of solid-state quantum systems, from quantum sensors to repeater nodes in memory-enhanced quantum communication. Inversion-symmetric group IV vacancy centers,…
In resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) spectra of K$_2$IrCl$_6$, the peak for the $j=3/2$ multiplet states shows a splitting that resembles non-cubic crystal-field effect although the compound is cubic down to 0.3 K. Here we…
The high-pressure behaviour of Na$_2$CuF$_4$ is explored by powder neutron diffraction and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. A first-order phase transition is observed to take place between 2.4 - 2.9 GPa, involving a…
