Spin crossover of the octahedral Co ion in Co_{3}S_{4}: Emergence of hidden magnetism
It is well established that the ground-state electron configuration of the octahedral Co^{3+} ion is t_{2g}^{6}e_{g}^{0}, which corresponds to a low-spin (LS) state. However, we theoretically demonstrate that the octahedral Co^{3+} ion in Co_{3}S_{4} prefers a high-spin (HS) state with the t_{2g}^{4...
