The direct exchange between two Tg Jahn-Teller ions

Abstract
The Jahn-Teller coupling is known to lead to the reduction of single parameters such as the spin-orbit coupling (the Ham effect). An important question is what it does to exchange interactions. This problem is studied for what is probably the simplest case, direct exchange between two Tg ions coupled to the Eg types of distortions of a cubic lattice. It is found that the exchange interaction has a complicated form, that in general it is quenched, and that it may become temperature dependent. The method used is a combination of the transformation method for Jahn-Teller problems and a new formulation of the exchange problem, in terms of second quantization.
