Spin-Orbit Exciton in a Honeycomb Lattice Magnet CoTiO${}_3$: Revealing Link Between Rare Earth and Transition Metal Magnetism

Bo Yuan, M. B. Stone, Guo-Jiun Shu +4

We carried out inelastic neutron scattering to study the spin-orbital (SO) exciton in a single crystal sample of CoTiO${}_3$ as a function of temperature. CoTiO${}_3$ is a honeycomb ma…
