Interested in predicting magnetism in transition metal compounds? We have written a paper on how to use exchange heuristics in such models. We also show limits of current theoretical approaches.

Can simple exchange heuristics guide us in predicting magnetic properties of solids?
A popular heuristic derived from the Kanamori-Goodenough-Anderson rules of superexchange connects bond angles and magnetism in certain transition metal compounds. We evaluate the fulfillment of this h...
