N2 - It is demonstrated that magnetic resonance in a magnetically ordered state is a sensitive indirect method for the investigation of the orbital ground state. This idea is illustrated for two perovskite titanates: LaTiO3 and YTiO3. In contrast to the spin-wave energy spectra, antiferromagnetic resonance spectra in an external magnetic field reveal clear dependence on the orbital state and it can distinguish the state with strong orbital fluctuations from the static orbital order. Our theoretical analysis is based on the model, which explicitly takes into consideration the strong correlation among lattice, orbital, and magnetic degrees of freedom.
