Lattice instability of frustrated orbital and spin systems — •Maxim Mostovoy — Materials Science Center, University of Groningen, The Netherlands

In materials with strong exchange interactions between electrons occupying degenerate orbitals the cooperative Jahn-Teller effect may be suppressed, as it is often impossible to order orbitals on all pairs of neighboring transition metal ions in a unique optimal way. This frustration may be relieved by several competing mechanisms, e.g., quantum orbital fluctuations or ‘Peierls-like’ lattice distortions. I will discuss similarities and differences between frustrated Jahn-Teller materials and frustrated spin systems, such as antiferromagnets with a pyrocholore and triangular lattice.
