TL;DR: Using soft x-ray absorption spectroscopy and magnetic circular dichroism at the Co-L(2,3) edge, the spin state transition in LaCoO3 can be well described by a low-spin ground state and a triply degenerate high-spin first excited state as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: Using soft x-ray absorption spectroscopy and magnetic circular dichroism at the Co$L 2,3 ) edge, the spin state transition in LaCoO$3}$ can be well described by a low-spin ground state and a triply-degenerate high-spin first excited state.

TL;DR: In this paper, the magnetic susceptibility and thermal expansion of a single crystal were measured in terms of a spin-state transition of the ions with increasing temperature from a low-spin ground state to an intermediate-spin state.

TL;DR: In this article, powder and single-crystal x-ray diffraction data were used as evidence for a monoclinic distortion in the low-spin and intermediate spin states of the LaCoO ion.

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of structural distortions in charge-carrier doped by substituting alkaline-earth metals of strongly different ionic sizes was investigated. And the authors found that both the magnetic properties and the resistivity change non-monotonically as a function of the ionic size of M.
