From Atoms to Magnetic Moments
- The three scales: Coulomb interactions, spin-orbit coupling, and crystal fields; multiplets, Hund's rules
- Hierarchy of energy scales in 3d, 4d/5d, and 4f systems.
- Low-energy degrees of freedom: downfolding into spin, spin-orbital, or effective-spin models.
- Orbital quenching, spin-orbit-entangled moments, and crystal-field doublets.
