Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Chun Zhang, Hui-Ke Jin, Yi Zhou, , | Summary: Previous investigations have suggested that the simplest spin-orbital model on the simplest frustrated lattice can host a nematic quantum spin-orbital liquid state. Namely, the orbital degeneracy of the SU(4) Kugel-Khomskii (KK) model tends to enhance quantum fluctuations and […]
