Abstract

Measurements of magnetic, transport properties, thermal conductivity, and magnetization under pressure as well as neutron diffraction have been made on a single crystal and powder sample of LaVO3. The Néel temperature was found to mark a transition from the phase with both frustrated superexchange interaction and spin-orbit λL•S coupling to the phase where the Jahn-Teller orbital-lattice coupling dominates. The dramatic reduction of absolute entropy in the paramagnetic phase is explained in terms of forming a long-range coherent state due to the interference between frustrated orbits and spins.
