Abstract:
We study the characteristic timescales of the fluctuating local moments in Hund's metal systems for different degrees of correlation. By analyzing the dynamical spin susceptibility in the real-time domain, we determine the timescales controlling oscillation and damping of on-site fluctuations-a crucial factor for the detection of local moments with different experimental probes. We apply this procedure to different families of iron pnictides or chalcogenides, explaining the material trend in the discrepancies reported between experimental and theoretical estimates of their magnetic moments.

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.
