This analysis uncovers ferromagnetism resulting from divergent quantum metric at saddle points, indicating novel electronic states.
We propose ferromagnetism that occurs in electrons at a saddle point with band touching, which we call the singular saddle point. At the singular saddle point, the divergent quantum metric induces ferromagnetic correlation, and the logarithmic divergence of the density of states ensures ferromagnetism within Stoner theory. This is a prototypical example of quantum geometric ferromagnetism. The two-dimensional t2g-orbital model accommodates the ferromagnetism by this mechanism, which is continuously connected to the exactly proven flat-band ferromagnetism.
