Abstract

Utilizing a sum rule in a spin-resolved photoelectron spectroscopic experiment with circularly polarized light, we show that the orbital moment in LaTiO₃ is strongly reduced from its ionic value, both below and above the Néel temperature. Using Ti L_2,3 x-ray absorption spectroscopy as a local probe, we found that the crystal-field splitting in the t_2g subshell is about 0.12-0.30 eV. This large splitting does not facilitate the formation of an orbital liquid.
