Charge transfer and competing symmetry breaking drive orbital reconstruction and emergent ferromagnetism in insulating oxide superlattices

Electron correlation, hopping, and ligand-to-metal charge transfer collectively lead to diverse electronic and magnetic phenomena in 3$d$ transition-metal oxides, where directional d orbitals make hopping highly sensitive to symmetry-dependent orbital overlap. Heterostructure engineering with atomically flat interfaces...
