Abstract:
We develop a boundary field theory approach to electron spin resonance in open S=1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnetic chains with an effective staggered field. In terms of the sine Gordon effective field theory with boundaries, we point out the existence of boundary bound states of elementary excitations, and modification of the selection rules at the boundary. We argue that several "unknown modes" found in electron spin resonance experiments on KCuGaF(6) [I. Umegaki, H. Tanaka, T. Ono, H. Uekusa, and H. Nojiri, Phys. Rev. B 79, 184401 (2009)] and Cu-PM [S. A. Zvyagin, A. K. Kolezhuk, J. Krzystek, and R. Feyerherm, Phys. Rev. Lett. 93, 027201 (2004)] can be understood as boundary resonances introduced by these effects.

Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.
