Title | Orbital-spin-lattice coupling in transition metal oxide and rare-earth compounds |
Abstract | Over the years, there has been increasing interests in physics induced through strong coupling among several degrees of freedom: spin, lattice, charge, and orbital. This kind of coupling has become an important issue of strongly correlated electron systems. In this talk, we will discuss our recent works on several systems that exhibit interesting physics due to such couplings. We will particularly focus on the following three systems: Tl2Ru2O7, PrFe4P12, and PrB6. |
