[en] Ab-initio calculations are performed to understand the spin-state transition as well as the appearance of ferromagnetism in thin films of LaCoO3. Unlike the case of the bulk parent compound, the strain induced tetragonal distortion is found to be responsible for the stabilization of the intermediate spin state. (author)
