| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We microscopically formulated toroidal moments in the absence of time-reversal and spatial inversion symmetries. We also investigated how to observe and control toroidal moments in experiments from the theoretical side. (1)We derived an effective spin-orbit coupling under the toroidal ordering for the model including the crystalline-electric field, atomic spin-orbit coupling, and electron correlation by perturbative analysis. (2) We clarified that toroidal moments are induced around the nonmagnetic impurity site in the ferromagnets with the strong spin-orbit coupling on the triangular lattice. (3) We examined the 5d transition oxide KOsO4, which is a potential candidate showing toroidal moments.
