Kugel–Khomskii coupling describes a coupling between the spin and orbital degrees of freedom in a solid; it is named after the Russian physicists Kliment I. Kugel (Климент Ильич Кугель) and Daniel I. Khomskii (Daniil I. Khomskii, Даниил Ильич Хомский). The Hamiltonian used is:

H = t 2 U i , j [ 4 ( S i S j ) ( τ i α 1 2 ) ( τ j α 1 2 ) + ( τ i α + 1 2 ) ( τ j α + 1 2 ) 1 ] . {\displaystyle H={\frac {t^{2}}{U}}\sum _{\langle i,j\rangle }\left.}
