With octahedrally coordinated $t_{rm 2g}$ orbitals which are active at filling $n=2$, the $rm Sr_2CrO_4$ compound exhibits rich interplay of spin-orbital physics with tetragonal distortion induced crystal field tuning by external agent such as pressure. Considering both reversed and restored crystal field regimes, collective spin-orbital excitations are investigated in the antiferromagnetic (AFM) state of a realistic three-orbital model using the generalized self consistent and fluctuation approach including spin-orbit coupling (SOC). Important effects of SOC and Coulomb interaction induced orbital mixing terms are highlighted. The behavior of the calculated energy scales of collective excitations with crystal field is in striking similarity to that of the transition temperatures with pressure as obtained from susceptibility and resistivity anomalies in high-pressure studies.

The combination of Rashba spin-orbit coupling and electron correlations can induce unusual phenomena in the metallic interface between SrTiO$_3$ and LaAlO$_3$. We consider effects of Rashba spin-orbit coupling at this interface in the context of the recent observation of anisotropic magnetism. Firstly, we show how Rashba spin-orbit coupling in a system near a band-edge can account for the observed magnetic anisotropy. Secondly, we investigate the coupling between in-plane magnetic-moment anisotropy and nematicity in the form of an orbital imbalance between d$_{xz}$ / d$_{yz}$ orbitals. We estimate this coupling to be substantial in the low electron density regime. Such an orbital ordering can affect magneto transport.
The electronic properties of the polar interface between insulating oxides is a subject of great current interest. An exciting new development is the observation of robust magnetism at the interface of two non-magnetic materials LaAlO_3 (LAO) and SrT iO_3 (STO). Here we present a microscopic theory for the formation and interaction of local moments, which depends on essential features of the LAO/STO interface. We show that correlation-induced moments arise due to interfacial splitting of orbital degeneracy. We find that gate-tunable Rashba spin-orbit coupling at the interface influences the exchange interaction mediated by conduction electrons. We predict that the zero-field ground state is a long-wavelength spiral and show that its evolution in an external field accounts semi-quantitatively for torque magnetometry data. Our theory describes qualitative aspects of the scanning SQUID measurements and makes several testable predictions for future experiments.
The temperature dependence of the hexagonal lattice parameter $c$ of single crystal $rm LaCoO_3$ (LCO) with $H=0$ and $800$Oe, as well as LCO bulk powders with $H=0$, was measured using high-resolution x-ray scattering near the transition temperature $T_oapprox 35$K. The change of $c(T)$ is well characterized by a power law in $T-T_o$ for $T>T_o$ and by a temperature independent constant for $T<T_o$ when convoluted with a Gaussian function of width $8.5$K. This behavior is discussed in the context of the unusual magnetic behavior observed in LCO as well as recent generalized gradient approximation calculations.

We use the Gutzwiller variational theory to investigate the electronic and the magnetic properties of fcc-Nickel. Our particular focus is on the effects of the spin-orbit coupling. Unlike standard relativistic band-structure theories, we reproduce th e experimental magnetic moment direction and we explain the change of the Fermi-surface topology that occurs when the magnetic moment direction is rotated by an external magnetic field. The Fermi surface in our calculation deviates from early de-Haas--van-Alphen (dHvA) results. We attribute these discrepancies to an incorrect interpretation of the raw dHvA data.
We have studied Ir spin and orbital magnetic moments in the double perovskites La$_{2-x}$Sr$_x$CoIrO$_6$ by x-ray magnetic circular dichroism. In La$_2$CoIrO$_6$, Ir$^{4+}$ couples antiferromagnetically to the weak ferromagnetic moment of the canted Co$^{2+}$ sublattice and shows an unusually large negative total magnetic moment (-0.38,$mu_{text B}$/f.u.) combined with strong spin-orbit interaction. In contrast, in Sr$_2$CoIrO$_6$, Ir$^{5+}$ has a paramagnetic moment with almost no orbital contribution. A simple kinetic-energy-driven mechanism including spin-orbit coupling explains why Ir is susceptible to the induction of substantial magnetic moments in the double perovskite structure.
