摘要
A superexchange calculation is performed for multiorbital band models with broken inversion symmetry. Orbital-changing hopping terms allowed by the symmetry-breaking electric field lead to a new kind of orbital exchange interaction closely resembling the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya spin exchange. Inversion symmetry breaking as present in surfaces and interfaces and a strong on-site repulsion, but not the spin-orbit interaction, are the requirements to observe the proposed effect. The mean-field phase diagram exhibits a rich structure including anti-ferro-orbital, ferro-orbital, and both single and multiple spiral-orbital phases, in close analogy with the Skyrmion spin crystal phase recently discovered in thin-film chiral magnets.
