Reiter's polaron wavefunction applied to a $t_{2g}$ orbital t-J model

Abstract

Using the self-consistent Born approximation we calculate Reiter's wavefunction for a single hole introduced into the undoped and orbitally ordered ground state of the t-J model with $t_{2g}$ orbital degrees of freedom. While the number of excitations is similar to the spin t-J model for a given J/t, a distinct structure of the calculated wavefunction and its momentum dependence is identified suggesting the formation of a novel type of mobile polarons.
