Abstract:
We present a theoretical investigation of the orbital ordering occurring in Sr(3)Cr(2)O(8) based on density functional theory calculations. We demonstrate that the strong electron correlation arising within the Cr-3d shell can clearly explain both the phase transition leading to the stabilization of its monoclinic C2/c space-group symmetry and its spin-singlet magnetic ground state. The relevance of the electronic structure determined theoretically is further established by comparison to high-resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy measurements.

One-Degree-of-Freedom System
A one-degree-of-freedom system is defined by an independent variable that determines its state and behavior. One example of a one-degree-of-freedom system is a simple harmonic oscillator, such as a...
Degrees of Freedom
For example, suppose there are three unknown numbers whose mean is 10; although we can freely assign values to the first and second numbers, the value of the last number can not be arbitrarily assigned.

Magnetic Moment of an Electron
Electronic Structure of Atoms
An atom comprises protons and neutrons, which are contained inside the dense, central core called the nucleus, with electrons present around the nucleus. Taking into account the wave–particle duality of electrons and the uncertainty in position around the nucleus, quantum mechanics provides a more accurate model for the atomic structure. It describes atomic orbitals as the regions around the nucleus where electrons of discrete energy exist, characterized by four quantum...
