Facts and FAQs

  • This model is fully realistic. In the paper, we provide a detailed list of requirements for a possible experimental realization.
  • The requirements are: two electrons in degenerate t2g orbitals (which implies cubic symmetry and no spin-orbit coupling) and large Hund's coupling.
