The present review discusses different effects related to orbital degrees of freedom. Leaving
aside such aspects as the superexchange mechanism of cooperative Jahn–Teller …

Describing all aspects of the physics of transition metal compounds, this book provides a
comprehensive overview of this unique and diverse class of solids. Beginning with the basic …

After the revival of the magnetoelectric effect which took place in the early 2000s, the interest
in multiferroic materials displaying simultaneous presence of spontaneous long-range …

We present a study of the frustrated spinel MgV 2 O 4, which possesses highly coupled spin,
lattice, and orbital degrees of freedom. Using large single crystal and powder samples, we …

By studying the dielectric properties of the geometrically frustrated spinel CdV 2 O 4, we
observe ferroelectricity developing at the transition into the collinear antiferromagnetic …

Iridium oxides with a honeycomb lattice have been identified as platforms for the much
anticipated Kitaev topological spin liquid: the spin-orbit entangled states of Ir4+ in principle …

We present a neutron-diffraction study of FeV 2 O 4, which is rare in exhibiting spin and
orbital degrees of freedom on both cation sublattices of the spinel structure. Our data confirm …

Multilayer (TiO 2) m/(VO 2) n nanostructures (d 1-d 0 interfaces with no polar discontinuity)
show a metal-insulator transition with respect to the VO 2 layer thickness in first-principles …

Studies of the structure, magnetization, and resistivity under pressure on stoichiometric
normal spinel Co [V 2] O 4 single crystals show (i) absence of a structural distortion,(ii) …

We present the low-temperature XRD, susceptibility, specific heat, and resistivity results on
single crystal Mn 1− x Co x V 2 O 4. With increasing Co doping, the chemical pressure …
