Summary

We discovered orbital excitations, called two-orbitons, in perovskite oxides NdVO(3) and LaVO(3). These excitations involve the exchange of occupied orbital states along quasi-one-dimensional orbital chains, revealing hidden electronic properties.

    • Identified orbital excitations termed 'two-orbitons'.
    • Demonstrated that two-orbitons involve the exchange of occupied orbital states between neighboring sites.
    • Confirmed the quasi-one-dimensional nature of the orbital chain system.

    Conclusions:

    • The study proves the existence of two-orbiton excitations in NdVO(3) and LaVO(3).
    • Orbital excitations in these materials are analogous to two-magnon excitations.
    • This finding sheds light on the fundamental orbital degrees of freedom in transition-metal oxides.
