Spin Dynamics and Orbital State in LaTiO_3

arXiv:cond-mat/0002014 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.85.3946

Abstract

A neutron scattering study of the Mott-Hubbard insulator LaTiO (T K) reveals a spin wave spectrum that is well described by a nearest-neighbor superexchange constant meV and a small Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction ( meV). The nearly isotropic spin wave spectrum is surprising in view of the absence of a static Jahn-Teller distortion that could quench the orbital angular momentum, and it may indicate strong orbital fluctuations. A resonant x-ray scattering study has uncovered no evidence of orbital order in LaTiO.
