Abstract
An electron in a solid, that is, bound to or nearly localized on the specific atomic site, has three attributes: charge, spin, and orbital. The orbital represents the shape of the electron cloud in solid. In transition-metal oxides with anisotropic-shaped d-orbital electrons, the Coulomb interaction between the electrons (strong electron correlation effect) is of importance for understanding their metal-insulator transitions and properties such as high-temperature superconductivity and colossal magnetoresistance. The orbital degree of freedom occasionally plays an important role in these phenomena, and its correlation and/or order-disorder transition causes a variety of phenomena through strong coupling with charge, spin, and lattice dynamics. An overview is given here on this "orbital physics," which will be a key concept for the science and technology of correlated electrons.

Correlation of structural distortion with magnetic properties in electron-doped Ca0.9R0.1MnO3 perovskites (R=rare-earth)

TL;DR: A series of electron-doped orthorhombic-perovskite manganites Ca0.9R0.1MnO3 (R=La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, and Yb) are synthesized for a systematic study of their crystal structure and magnetic properties as mentioned in this paper.

Interaction between the d -Shells in the Transition Metals. II. Ferromagnetic Compounds of Manganese with Perovskite Structure

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that both electrical conduction and ferromagnetic coupling in these compounds arise from a double exchange process, and a quantitative relation was developed between electrical conductivity and the Ferromagnetic Curie temperature.

Theory of the role of covalence in the perovskite-type manganites [La,M(II)]MnO3

TL;DR: In this article, the theory of double exchange was applied to perovskite-type manganites and detailed qualitative predictions about the magnetic lattice, the crystallographic lattice and the electrical resistivity were made.

Stability of Polyatomic Molecules in Degenerate Electronic States. I. Orbital Degeneracy

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that if the total electronic state of orbital and spin motion is degenerate, then a non-linear configuration of the molecule will be unstable unless the degeneracy is the special twofold one (discussed by Kramers 1930) which can occur only when the molecule contains an odd number of electrons.

Superexchange interaction and symmetry properties of electron orbitals

TL;DR: In this article, the sign of the superexchange interaction is closely connected with the symmetry of the electron orbitals and the cation orbital state when the cations are subject to the crystalline field arising from octahedral or tetrahedrally surrounding anions.
