Phenomenological phase diagram for the spin-orbital model. The exchange energy scale in the problem sets the transition
temperature TO for orbital order, which in turn drives the structural transition. eps_0 is the energy scale below which long-wavelength fluctuations are suppressed. There are two separate continuous orbital
and magnetic transitions for eps<<eps_0 (shown as dotted and dashed lines, respectively) and one simultaneous first-order transition for eps>>eps_0 (shown as a solid line).
