Need multiband models to describe TM compounds
However numerous studies have shown that this can sometimes be reduced to an effective
single band Hubbard model at least for highTc’s BUT ONLY FOR LOW ENERGY

High Spin – Low Spin transition very common inCo(3+)(d6), as in LaCoO3, not so common in Fe(2+)(d6)Because of the smaller hybridization with O(2p)

Mixed valent system could lead to strange effects Such as spin blockade for charge transport and high thermoelectric powers

What would happen if 2Jh <10Dq<3JhIf we remove one electron from d6 we would go fromS=0 in d6 to S=5/2 in d5. The “hole “ would carry a spinOf 5/2 as it moves in the d6 lattice.

This orbital ordering yields a large internal Antiferromagnetic exchange and a weak external ferromagnetic exchange .
Orbital ordering removes frustration

Three ways to get ferromagnets with High Tc without using 3d’s or 4f’s
1. Use electronic reconstruction of polar surfaces
2. Use defects and topology and symmetry
3. Use doping and large Hund’s rule coupling of O,N

Electronic reconstruction at surfaces and interfaces
By moving 1 electr. Per O From 2- side to 2+ side the Potential becomes flat.

Models mentioned in White , Affleck and Scalapino PRB 65 165122For ¼ modulation
RXS shows that ¼ does not exist but 1/3 and 1/5 do and more recent Results show the model with paired holes along the rungs is most likely Correct. This could be of great importance for the understanding of High Tc’s
