摘要
In Mott insulators with the t(2g)(4) electronic configuration such as of Re3+, Ru4+, Os4+, and Ir5+ ions, spin-orbit coupling dictates a Van Vleck-type nonmagnetic ground state with an angular momentum J = 0, and the magnetic response is governed by gapped singlet-triplet excitations. We derive the exchange interactions between these excitons and study their collective behavior on different lattices. In perovskites, a conventional Bose condensation of excitons into a magnetic state is found, while an unexpected one-dimensional behavior supporting spin-liquid states emerges in honeycomb lattices, due to the bond directional nature of exciton interactions in the case of 90 degrees d-p-d bonding geometry.
