We report on our hard x-ray photoemission study of Nb3Cl8, wherein the breathing Kagome lattice of Nb provides interesting magnetic properties with spin 1/2 per Nb trimer. The Nb3d5/2 and 3d3/2 core level peaks are accompanied by satellite peaks, suggesting the importance of Nb4d charge degrees of freedom. The Cl1s and 2p core level spectra have high binding energy peaks which can be assigned to the Cl site with Cl3p ligand holes near the center of the Nb trimer. The core level spectra indicate that the Nb-Nb and Nb-Cl charge fluctuations play crucial roles in the magnetic interaction between the trimers.

We demonstrate a toroidal classification for quantum spin systems, revealing an intrinsic geometric duality within this structure. Through our classification and duality, we reveal that various bipartite quantum features in magnon systems can manifest equivalently in both bipartite ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic materials, based upon the availability of relevant Hamiltonian parameters. Additionally, the results highlight the antiferromagnetic regime as an ultrafast dual counterpart to the ferromagnetic regime, both exhibiting identical capabilities for quantum spintronics and technological applications. Concrete illustrations are provided, demonstrating how splitting and squeezing types of two-mode magnon quantum correlations can be realized across ferro- and antiferromagnetic regimes.
