Abstract
Transition-metal compounds form a wide group of solids which exhibit various magnetic and electrical properties. Among them, magnetic insulating oxides are generally considered as typical examples of systems where magnetic properties are determined by strongly localized d states of transition-metal atoms. In the crystal lattices of such compounds, cation atoms which carry magnetic moments have non-magnetic ligand atoms as their nearest neighbours. Chemical bonding between magnetic atoms and ligands is often very strong due to large covalent mixing of metal and ligand states. The direct overlap of magnetic d (or f) orbitals of magnetic atoms appears to be practically non-existent. This is why the interaction between spin magnetic moments in insulators is completely mediated by the ligand electronic states, and this is generally discussed in terms of various superexchange theories.
