The magnetic configurations greatly influence the e occupancy of these oxides. In this work, using the perovskite LaCoO as an example, we use density functional theory (DFT) calculations Edited by: to achieve an intermediate spin configuration corresponding to unit-like e occupancy Zhenhai Xia, via strain schemes.
