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.

Nematicity of correlated systems driven by anisotropic chemical phase separation

TL;DR: In this paper, experimental and theoretical results for In{}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}$Fe${}_{x} $As demonstrate that anisotropic distribution of Fe cations at the growth surface (which has a lower symmetry than the bulk) can lead to a quenched nematic order of alloy components, which then governs lowtemperature magnetic and magnetotransport properties.

Phase diagram of the Shastry-Sutherland Kondo lattice model with classical localized spins: a variational calculation study.

TL;DR: This work studies the Shastry-Sutherland Kondo lattice model with additional Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interactions, exploring the possible magnetic phases in its multi-dimensional parameter space and identifies the parameter ranges over which various common magnetic orderings are potentially stabilized.

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.
