Titanate compounds have been recognized as key materials for understanding the coupling of magnetism and orbitals in strongly correlated electron systems. In the perovskite Ti oxide RTiO3 (where R represents the trivalent rare-earth ions), which is a typical Mott–Hubbard insulator, the Ti t2g orbitals and spins in the 3d1 state couple each other through the strong electron correlations, resulti...
