How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T12502698 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

Target entity: crystal field theory Context triple: [Laporte rule, usedIn, crystal field theory]
-
A.
Jahn–Teller effect
The Jahn–Teller effect is a phenomenon in molecular and solid-state physics where electronically degenerate states cause spontaneous geometric distortions that lower a system’s symmetry and energy.
-
B.
Goodenough–Kanamori rules
The Goodenough–Kanamori rules are a set of semi-empirical guidelines that predict the sign and strength of superexchange magnetic interactions between ions in transition-metal oxides based on bond angles and orbital overlap.
-
C.
Advanced Inorganic Chemistry (with F. Albert Cotton)
Advanced Inorganic Chemistry (with F. Albert Cotton) is a seminal graduate-level textbook that systematically presents the principles, structures, bonding, and reactivity of inorganic compounds and has long been a standard reference in the field.
-
D.
Van Vleck paramagnetism
Van Vleck paramagnetism is a quantum-mechanical form of paramagnetism arising from the mixing of electronic energy levels by an applied magnetic field, even in systems with no permanent magnetic moment in the ground state.
-
E.
density functional theory
Density functional theory is a quantum mechanical method for calculating the electronic structure and properties of many-body systems, widely used in physics, chemistry, and materials science.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
