Spin-state transitions are the hallmark of rare-earth cobaltates. In order to understand them, it is essential to identify all relevant parameters which shift the energy balance between spin states, and determine their trends. We find that Delta, the eg-t2g crystal-field splitting, increases by ~250 meV when increasing pressure to 8 GPa and by about 150 meV when cooling from 1000K to 5K. It changes, however, by less than 100 meV when La is substituted with another rare earth. Also the Hunds rule coupling J_avg is about the same in systems with very different spin-state transition temperature, like LaCoO3 and EuCoO3. Consequently, in addition to Delta and J_avg, the Coulomb-exchange anisotropy Delta J_ avg and the super-exchange energy-gain Delta E_SE play a crucial role, and are comparable with spin-state dependent relaxation effects due to covalency. We show that in the LnCoO3 series, with Ln=Y or a rare earth (RE), super-exchange progressively stabilizes a low-spin ground state as the Ln^{3+} ionic radius decreases. We give a simple model to describe spin-state transitions and show that, at low temperature, the formation of isolated high-spin/low-spin pairs is favored, while in the high-temperature phase, the most likely homogeneous state is high-spin, rather than intermediate spin. An orbital-selective Mott state could be a fingerprint of such a state.
We report a combined experimental and theoretical study of the unusual ferromagnetism in the one-dimensional copper-iridium oxide Sr$_3$CuIrO$_6$. Utilizing Ir $L_3$ edge resonant inelastic x-ray scattering, we reveal a large gap magnetic excitation

The diamagnetic-paramagnetic and insulator-metal transitions in LnCoO3 perovskites (Ln = La, Y, rare earths) are reinterpreted and modeled as a two-level excitation process. In distinction to previous models, the present approach can be characterized
