Abstract

Motivated by the recent discovery of superconductivity in Nax_xCoO2y_2\cdot yH2_2O, we use series expansion methods and cluster mean-field theory to study spontaneous charge order, Neel order, ferromagnetic order, dimer order and phase-separation in the triangular-lattice t-J-V model at 2/3 electron density. We find that for t<0, the charge ordered state, with electrons preferentially occupying a honeycomb lattice, is very robust. Quite surprisingly, hopping to the third sublattice can even enhance Neel order. At large negative t and small V, the Nagaoka ferromagnetic state is obtained. For large positive t, charge and Neel order vanish below a critical V, giving rise to an itinerant antiferromagnetically correlated state.
