Resonating holes vs molecular spin-orbit coupled states in group-5 lacunar spinels

Abstract The valence electronic structure of magnetic centers is one of the factors that determines the characteristics of a magnet. This may refer to orbital degeneracy, as for j eff = 1/2 Kitaev magnets, or near-degeneracy, e.g., involving the third and fourth shells in cuprate superconductors. He...
