Abstract

Description

The Holstein-Primakoff transformation is generalized to develop a quantum flavor wave theory for spin systems with orbital degeneracy. Elementary excitations consist of spin, orbital, and spin-orbital waves. Spin and spin-orbital waves couple each other due to orbital anisotropy and Hund's rule, resulting in new modes observable by inelastic neutron scattering. In the SU(4) limit, flavor waves are dispersionless along one or more directions, and give rise to quantum fluctuations of reduced dimensionality.
