Using soft x-ray absorption spectroscopy and magnetic circular dichroism at the Co-$L_{2,3}$ edge we reveal that the spin state transition in LaCoO$_{3}$ can be well described by a low-spin ground state and a triply-degenerate high-spin first excited state. From the temperature dependence of the spectral lineshapes we find that LaCoO$_{3}$ at finite temperatures is an inhomogeneous mixed-spin-state system. Crucial is that the magnetic circular dichroism signal in the paramagnetic state carries a large orbital momentum. This directly shows that the currently accepted low-/intermediate-spin picture is at variance. Parameters derived from these spectroscopies fully explain existing magnetic susceptibility, electron spin resonance and inelastic neutron data.

We report a magnetostriction study of a perovskite $rm{LaCoO}_{3}$ above 100 T using our state-of-the-art strain gauge to investigate an interplay between electron correlations and spin crossover. There has been a controversy regarding whether two no
vel phases in $rm{LaCoO}_{3}$ at high magnetic fields result from crystallizations or Bose-Einstein condensation during spin crossover as manifestations of localization and delocalization in spin states, respectively. We show that both phases are crystallizations rather than condensations, and the two crystallizations are different, based on the observations that the two phases exhibit as magnetostriction plateaux with distinct heights. The crystallizations of spin states have emerged manifesting the localizations and interactions in spin crossover with large and cooperative lattice changes.
We studied the spin-state responses to light impurity doping in low-spin perovskite LaCoO$_{3}$ (Co^3+: d^6) through magnetization and X-ray fluorescence measurements of single-crystal LaCo$_{0.99}$$M_{0.01}$O$_{3}$ ($M$ = Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni). In the mag
netization curves measured at 1.8 K, a change in the spin-state was not observed for Cr, Mn, or Fe doping but was observed for Ni doping. Strong magnetic anisotropy along the [100] easy axis was also found in the Ni-doped sample. The fluorescence measurements revealed that the valences were roughly estimated to be Cr^3+, Mn^4+, Fe^(3+delta)+, and Ni^3+. From the observed chemical trends, we propose that the chemical potential is a key factor in inducing the change of the low-spin state. By expanding a model of the ferromagnetic spin-state heptamer generated by hole doping, we discuss the emergence of highly anisotropic ferromagnetic spin-state clusters induced by low-spin Ni^3+ with Jahn-Teller activity. We also discuss applicability of the present results to mantle materials and impurity-doped pyrites with Fe (d^6).
Magnetization measurements of LaCoO$_{3}$ have been carried out up to 133 T generated with a destructive pulse magnet at a wide temperature range from 2 to 120 K. A novel magnetic transition was found at $B>100$ T and $T>T^{*}=32pm 5$ K which is char
acterized by its transition field increasing with increasing temperature. At $T<T^{*}$, the previously reported transition at $Bsim65$ T was observed. Based on the obtained $B$-$T$ phase diagram and the Clausius-Clapeyron relation, the entropy of the high-field phase at 80 K is found to be smaller for about $1.5$ J K$^{-1}$ mol$^{-1}$ than that of the low-field phase. We suggest that the observed two high-field phases may originate in different spatial orders of the spin states and possibly other degrees of freedom such as orbitals. An inherent strong correlation of spin states among cobalt sites should have triggered the emergence of the ordered phases in LaCoO$_{3}$ at high magnetic fields.
Spin crossover is expected to enrich unusual physical states in various types of condensed matter. Through inelastic neutron scattering, we study the spin-state excitations in the canonical and advanced platform, LaCoO$_3$, and reveal that the spatia
l correlation robustly maintains the seven-Co-site size below 300 K and the internal Co-$d$ electrons are spatially delocalized. By combining theoretical calculations, this dynamical short-range order is identified as a new collective unit for describing spin-state with dual spin-state nature beyond the conventional one-Co-site classification.
Epitaxial thin films of LaCoO_{3} (E-LCO) exhibit ferromagnetic order with a transition temperature T_c = 85 K, while polycrystalline thin LaCoO_{3} films (P-LCO) remain paramagnetic. The temperature-dependent spin-state structure for both E-LCO and
P-LCO was studied by x-ray absorption spectroscopy at the Co L_{2,3} and O K edges. Considerable spectral redistributions over temperature are observed for P-LCO. The spectra for E-LCO, on the other hand, do not show any significant changes for temperatures between 30 K and 450 K at both edges, indicating that the spin state remains constant and that the epitaxial strain inhibits any population of the low-spin (S = 0) state with decreasing temperature. This observation identifies an important prerequisite for ferromagnetism in E-LCO thin films.
