The interplay between localized 3d and more delocalized 4d states in hybrid transition metal oxides tunes the competition between metallic and insulating states. For instance, doping of the 3d^3/3d^2 ions in the 4d^4 host realizes orbital/charge doping scenario. For the d^3 doping the competition between localized antiferromagnetism and itinerantferromagnetism can lead to one-dimensional (1D) zigzag magnetic structures whose non-symmorphic symmetries stabilize exotic Dirac semi-metal phases with multiple topological protection. On the other hand the d^2 doping in the d^4 system leads to a pairing mechanism and effective non-uniform Kitaev model in 1D, with hidden Lorentzsymmetry and hosting topological phases even in disordered cases.
