Beyond Conventional Spin Models
- Example: High-spin d^7 Co2+ as an example of spin-orbit-entangled magnetism in a 3d system.
- Example: Kramers and non-Kramers doublets; dipolar-octupolar degrees of freedom in quantum spin-ice pyrochlores.
- Special case: Spin-only moments (d^5, f^7); connections to altermagnets and spin-orbit-free magnetism.
- Special case: Spin-orbital models, Kugel-Khomskii models
