Abstract:Spin-orbit entanglement in 4d and 5d transition metal systems can enhance electronic correlations, leading to nontrivial ground states and the emergence of exotic excitations. There is also an interest to investigate spin-orbit entanglement in 3
d
compounds, though this is challenging due to their smaller spin-orbit coupling. Here we demonstrate that the Jahn-Teller effect in Mn
3+
reduces the energy gap between high- and low- spin-orbital states that lead to enhan… Show more
