20. Magnetic Co2+ are in 3 d7 (t 2g 5 eg2) state and, like Cu2+, are Kramer's ions, albeit with spin S=3/2. Hund's coupling in cobaltites is in close competition with crystal field (CF), so doped holes can yield Co3+ (3 d6) in an intermediate (IS, S=1) or low spin (LS, S=0) state (Refs.). Magnetic susceptibility data of Ref. indicate change to a lower-spin Co3+ state with doping at x∼0.7. In either case the ground state in the crystal field is Sz =0 singlet and is effectively nonmagnetic at low T (Ref.). This is a fundamental consequence of Kramers time-reversal symmetry and makes comparison with cuprates particularly meaningful: Hund's rule is not at play for a single hole in 3 d9 Cu2+, while covalency and strong correlation yield a non-Hund S=0 singlet 3 d8 state for doped holes.
