The recently observed multiferroic behavior in the s=1/2 chain cuprate LiVCuO_4 (LiCuVO_4) with edge-shared CuO_4 plaquettes and helical spin ordering does not agree with the existing theories such as a spin-current scenario. We argue that…
The spin-1/2 Cu2+ ions of LiCuVO4 form one-dimensional chains along the b-direction, and the spin frustration in LiCuVO4 is described in terms of the nearest-neighbor ferromagnetic exchange J1 and the next-nearest-neighbor antiferromagnetic…
The microscopic origin of the recently observed helical structure in LiCu2O2 [1] is considered. It is shown that the frustrated antiferromagnetic double chain scenario adopted in Ref.1 is unrealistic. It should be replaced by a frustrated…
