Excitonic magnetism involving superpositions of singlet and triplet states is expected to arise for two holes in strongly correlated and spin-orbit-coupled t_{2g} orbitals. However. uncontested material examples for its realization are rare. We apply the variational cluster approach to the square lattice to investigate excitonic antiferromagnetism and the impact of a crystal field. https://www.elphonsolam.com/product-category/floor-runners/
