The results of the LSDA+U calculations for pyroxenes with diverse magnetic properties (Li,Na)TM(Si,Ge)$_2$O$_6$, where TM is the transition metal ion (Ti,V,Cr,Mn,Fe), are presented. We show that the anisotropic orbital ordering results in…
The structure and the magnetic properties of layered Li3Cu2SbO6 are investigated by powder X-ray diffraction, static susceptibility, and electron spin resonance studies up to 330 GHz. The XRD data experimentally verify the space group C2/m…
Does the quasi one-dimensional titanium pyroxene NaTiSi2O6 exhibit the novel {\it orbital-Peierls} state? We calculate its groundstate properties by three methods: Monte Carlo simulations, a spin-orbital decoupling scheme and a mapping onto…
We study with the Raman scattering technique two types of phase transitions in the pyroxene compounds NaMSi$_2$O$_6$ (with M=Ti, V, and Cr). In the quasi one-dimensional S=1/2 system NaTiSi$_2$O$_6$ we observe anomalous high-temperature…
We report results of susceptibility chi and 7Li NMR measurements on LiVSi2O6. The temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility chi(T) exhibits a broad maximum, typical for low-dimensional magnetic systems. Quantitatively it is in…
The local structure of NaTiSi$_{2}$O$_{6}$ is examined across its Ti-dimerization orbital-assisted Peierls transition at 210 K. An atomic pair distribution function approach evidences local symmetry breaking preexisting far above the…
Interplay between orbital and spin degrees of freedom is theoretically studied for the phase transition to the spin-singlet state with lattice dimerization in pyroxene titanium oxides ATiSi2O6 (A=Na, Li). For the quasi one-dimensional…
The magnetic properties of NiTa$_2$O$_6$ were investigated by magnetic susceptibility, specific heat, electron paramagnetic resonance, neutron powder diffraction and pulse field magnetization measurements. Accompanying \textit{ab initio}…
Structural, electronic and magnetic properties of Ti$_5$O$_9$ have been studied by \textit{ab initio} methods in low-, intermediate- and high-temperature phases. We have found the charge and orbital order in all three phases to be…
Bulk magnetic measurements and inelastic neutron scattering were used to investigate the spin-singlet ground state and magnetic gap excitations in BaCuSi2O6, a quasi-2-dimensional antiferromagnet with a bilayer structure. The results are…
We have investigated the low-temperature magnetism of sodium superoxide (NaO$_{2}$), in which spin, orbital, and lattice degrees of freedom are closely entangled. The magnetic susceptibility shows anomalies at $T_{1}=220$ K and $T_{2}=190$…
NaTiSi2O6 is an exemplary compound, showing an orbital assisted spin-Peierls phase transition at Tc = 210 K. We present the results of 29Si and 23Na NMR measurements of NaTiSi2O6. The use of magic angle spinning techniques unambiguously…
The transition metal spinel MgTi$_2$O$_4$ undergoes a metal-insulator transition on cooling below $T_{M-I} = 260$ K. A sharp reduction of the magnetic susceptibility below $T_{M-I}$ suggests the onset of a magnetic singlet state. Using…
We present a comprehensive study of single crystals of Na2Co2TeO6, a putative Kitaev honeycomb magnet, focusing on its low-temperature phase behaviors. A new thermal phase transition is identified at 31.0 K, below which the system develops…
We measured X-band electron-spin resonance of single crystalline sodium vanadate doped with lithium, Na_{1-x}Li_xV_2O_5 for 0 < x < 1.3% . The phase transition into a dimerized phase that is observed at 34 K in the undoped compound, was…
Recent experiments on the quasi-1D antiferromagnets $R_{2}BaNiO_{5}$ (R = rare earth) have shown the existence of purely 1D Haldane gap excitations propagating on the Ni chains. Below an ordering temperature, the gap excitations survive and…
We have recently reported that the Haldane spin-chain system, Er2BaNiO5, undergoing antiferromagnetic order below 32 K, is characterized by the onset of ferroelectricity near 60K due to magnetoelectric coupling induced by short-range…
Using x-ray absorption spectroscopy at the Ru-$L_{2,3}$ edge we reveal that the Ru$^{4+}$ ions remain in the $S$=1 spin state across the rare 4d-orbital ordering transition and spin-gap formation. We find using local spin density…
Topologically nontrivial Haldane phase is theoretically proposed to be realized in the 1/3-magnetization ($M$) plateau of spin-1/2 trimer systems. However, the spin excitation gap, typical characteristic of Haldane phase, is not yet…
A prototypical quasi-2D metallic compound, 1T-TaS_2 has been extensively studied due to an intricate interplay between a Mott-insulating ground state and a charge density-wave (CDW) order. In the low-temperature phase, 12 out of 13 Ta_{4+}…
