The consequences of the Jahn-Teller (JT) orbital-lattice coupling for magnetism of pseudospin J_{eff}=1/2 and J_{eff}=0 compounds are addressed. In the former case, represented by Sr_2IrO_4, this coupling generates, through the so-called pseudo-JT effect, orthorhombic deformations of a crystal concomitant with magnetic ordering. The orthorhombicity axis is tied to the magnetization and rotates with it under magnetic field. The theory resolves a number of puzzles in Sr_2IrO_4 such as the origin of in-plane magnetic anisotropy and magnon gaps, metamagnetic transition, etc. In J_{eff}=0 systems, the pseudo-JT effect leads to spin-nematic transition well above magnetic ordering, which may explain the origin of `orbital order in Ca_2RuO_4

A hole injected into a Mott insulator will gain an internal structure as recently identified by exact numerics, which is characterized by a nontrivial quantum number whose nature is of central importance in understanding the Mott physics. In this wor
k, we show that a spin texture associated with such an internal degree of freedom can explicitly manifest after the spin degeneracy is lifted by a emph{weak} Rashba spin-orbit coupling (SOC). It is described by an emergent angular momentum $J_{z}=pm3/2$ as shown by both exact diagonalization (ED) and variational Monte Carlo (VMC) calculations, which are in good agreement with each other at a finite size. In particular, as the internal structure such a spin texture is generally present in the hole composite even at high excited energies, such that a corresponding texture in momentum space, extending deep inside the Brillouin zone, can be directly probed by the spin-polarized angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES). This is in contrast to a Landau quasiparticle under the SOC, in which the spin texture induced by SOC will not be protected once the excited energy is larger than the weak SOC coupling strength, away from the Fermi energy. We point out that the spin texture due to the SOC should be monotonically enhanced with reducing spin-spin correlation length in the superconducting/pseudogap phase at finite doping. A brief discussion of a recent experiment of the spin-polarized ARPES will be made.
We propose a method for controlling the exchange interactions of Mott insulators with strong spin-orbit coupling. We consider a multiorbital system with strong spin-orbit coupling and a circularly polarized light field and derive its effective Hamilt
onian in the strong-interaction limit. Applying this theory to a minimal model of $alpha$-RuCl$_{3}$, we show that the magnitudes and signs of three exchange interactions, $J$, $K$, and $Gamma$, can be changed simultaneously. Then, considering another case in which one of the hopping integrals has a different value and the other parameters are the same as those for $alpha$-RuCl$_{3}$, we show that the Heisenberg interaction $J$ can be made much smaller than the anisotropic exchange interactions $K$ and $Gamma$.
We study the effect of a magnetic field on the low energy description of Mott insulators with strong spin-orbit (SO) coupling. In contrast to the standard case of the Hubbard model without SO coupling, we show that Peierls phases can modulate the mag
netic exchange at leading order in the interaction. Our mechanism crucially depends on the existence of distinct exchange paths between neighboring magnetic ions enclosing a well-defined area. Thus it will generically be present in any solid state realisation of the Kitaev model and its extensions. We explicitly calculate the variation of the exchange constants of the so-called $JKGamma$ model as a function of the magnetic flux. We discuss experimental implications of our findings for various settings of candidate Kitaev spin liquids.
The surprising insulating and superconducting states of narrow-band graphene twisted bilayers have been mostly discussed so far in terms of strong electron correlation, with little or no attention to phonons and electron-phonon effects. We found that
, among the 33492 phonons of a fully relaxed $theta=1.08^circ$ twisted bilayer, there are few special, hard and nearly dispersionless modes that resemble global vibrations of the moire supercell, as if it were a single, ultralarge molecule. One of them, doubly degenerate at $Gamma$ with symmetry $A_1+B_1$, couples very strongly with the valley degrees of freedom, also doubly degenerate, realizing a so-called $text{E}otimestext{e}$ Jahn-Teller (JT) coupling. The JT coupling lifts very efficiently all degeneracies which arise from the valley symmetry, and may lead, for an average atomic displacement as small as $0.5~$mA, to an insulating state at charge neutrality. This insulator possesses a non-trivial topology testified by the odd winding of the Wilson loop. In addition, freezing the same phonon at a zone boundary point brings about insulating states at most integer occupancies of the four ultra-flat electronic bands. Following that line, we further study the properties of the superconducting state that might be stabilized by these modes. Since the JT coupling modulates the hopping between AB and BA stacked regions, pairing occurs in the spin-singlet Cooper channel at the inter-(AB-BA) scale, which may condense a superconducting order parameter in the extended $s$-wave and/or $dpm id$-wave symmetry.
The quadratic Jahn-Teller effect of C$_{60}^{n-}$ ($n=$ 1-5) is investigated from the first principles. Employing the density functional theory calculations with hybrid functional, the quadratic vibronic coupling constants of C$_{60}^-$ were derived.
The warping of the adiabatic potential energy surface of C$_{60}^-$ by the quadratic vibronic coupling is estimated about 2 meV, which is much smaller than the Jahn-Teller stabilization energy ($approx$ 50 meV). Because of the selection rule and the vibronic reduction, the quadratic coupling slightly modifies the vibronic states of C$_{60}$ anions. Particularly, in the case of C$_{60}^{3-}$, parity and symmetry selection rule significantly reduces the effect of quadratic coupling on vibronic states. The present results confirm that the low-energy vibronic dynamics of C$_{60}^{n-}$ is of pseudorotational type.
