Recent X-ray analysis and NMR- experiments have shown that alpha'- NaV2O5 is not a conventional spin-Peierls (SP) compound because above the transition at 33K it is in a homogeneous mixed valent (MV) state and atomic spin chains do not…
We show that the proposed zig--zag charge--ordering model for alpha'--NaV2O5 is incompatible with a single transition that induces both charge--ordering and spin gap. We introduce a two--band model for alpha'--NaV2O5 within which the…
23Na NMR spectrum measurements in alpha'-NaV2O5 with a single- crystalline sample are reported. In the charge-ordered phase, the number of inequivalent Na sites observed is more than that expected from the low-temperature structures of…
We present the measurements of the polarized optical spectra of NaV2O5 and LiV2O5. In an energy range from 0.5 to 5.5 eV we observe similar peaks in the E parallel a spectra of LiV2O5 and NaV2O5, which suggests similar electronic structure…
A new X-ray diffraction study of the one-dimensional spin-Peierls compound \alpha-NaV_2O_5 reveals a centrosymmetric (Pmmn) crystal structure with one type of V site, contrary to the previously postulated non-centrosymmetric P2_1mn…
We argue on the basis of symmetry selection rules and Raman scattering spectra that NaV$_2$O$_5$ undergoes a charge ordering phase transition at T$_c$=34 K. Such a transition is characterized by the redistribution of the charges at the…
We report {\it ab initio} calculations of the charge ordering in $\alpha^\prime NaV_2O_5$ using large configurations interaction methods on embedded fragments. Our major result is that the $2p_y$ electrons of the bridging oxygen of the…
The charge ordering transition in the layer compound NaV2O5 is studied by means of exact diagonalization methods for finite systems. The 2-leg ladders of the V-Trellis lattice are associated with one spin variable of the vanadium…
In the ac polarized Raman spectra of NaV2O5 we have found anomalous phonon broadening, and an energy shift of the low-frequency mode as a function of the temperature. These effects are related to the breaking of translational symmetry,…
The debate over the orbital order in layered triangular lattice system NaTiO$_2$ has been rekindled by the recent experiments of McQueen, et al. \cite{cava} on NaVO$_2$ ({\em Phys. Rev. Lett.} {\bf 101}, 166402 (2008)). In view of this, the…
We present an X-ray diffuse scattering study of the pretransitional structural fluctuations of the magneto-elastic transition in alpha'-NaV2O5. This transition is characterized by the appearance below Tsp~35K of satellite reflections at the…
A theory of superexchange in the mixed valent layer compound NaV2O5 is presented which provides a consistent description of exchange both in the disordered and charge ordered state. Starting from results of band structure calculations for…

Using finite temperature diagonalization techniques it is shown that the quarter-filled t-J-V model on a trellis lattice structure provides a quantitative explanation of the highly anisotropic optical conductivity of the…
We suggest that the phase transition observed in NaV_2O_5 at T_c = 34K is not a spin-Peierls transition, but a charge ordering transition, related to the formal presence in this system of equal number of V^4+ and V^4- ions. Below T_c, V^4+…

We determine the electronic structure of the one-dimensional spin-1/2 Heisenberg compound $\gamma$-LiV$_2$O$_5$, which has two inequivalent vanadium ions, V(1) and V(2), via density-functional calculations. We find a relative V(1)-V(2)…
To gain insight into the mechanism of charge-ordering transitions, which conventionally are pictured as a disproportionation of an ion M as 2M$^{n+}$ $\rightarrow$ M$^{(n+1)+}$ + M$^{(n-1)+}$, we (1) review and reconsider the charge state…
In [S. Nandi et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 125, 132501 (2020)] two transverse wobbling bands were reported in $^{183}$Au. The critical experimental proof for this assignment is the E2 dominated linking transitions between the wobbling and normal…
