Abstract:
Condensed matter physics continues to seek new frustrated quantum materials that not only deepen our understanding of fundamental physical phenomena but also hold promise for transformative technologies. In this review article, we highlight the unique features of chiral spin topology and review the topological phenomena recently identified in trillium lattice compounds. Based on the unique spin states realized in these systems, we explore the potential for realizing various theoretically proposed chiral quantum phases. We examine representative materials- including the magnetic insulating compound K2Ni2(SO4)3and and the intermetallic EuPtSi-discussing both experimental findings and theoretical predictions, while outlining several key questions. Finally, we offer a perspective on promising research directions aimed at uncovering novel emergent behavior in chiral trillium lattice-based materials.

Crystal Field Theory - Tetrahedral and Square Planar Complexes
Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than the dxy,...
