Spin- and orbital-ordered phase in equilibrium. a The spin-orbital order in a cubic environment in equilibrium. Each site contains three electrons and the unoccupied orbital is shown, with arrows labelling the total spin moment of the electrons. The color scale indicates the value of orbital spherical harmonics in arbitrary units. b The Z1–Z3 plane in the orbital pseudospin space (the compass). The X3, Y3, Z3 directions and their corresponding orbitals are marked on the compass. The hole-occupied orbitals on A and B lattice sites are shown as red arrows
