Abstract

We formulate charge transfer model for a single doped spin ladder, relevant for the intrinsically doped plane of coupled spin ladders in Sr3_{3}Ca11_{11}Cu24_{24}O41_{41}. Assuming the presence of the experimentally observed charge order in the system we solve the model using Hartree-Fock approximation. Our results show the profound stability of the Zhang-Rice singlets with respect to other configurations of doped holes, in agreement with recent x-ray absorption measurements.
