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)…

Charge order is a commonly observed phenomenon in strongly correlated materials. However, most theories are based on a repulsive inter-site Coulomb interaction in order to explain charge order. We here show that only due to local…

Evidence is mounting that charge order competes with superconductivity in high Tc cuprates. Whether this has any relationship to the pairing mechanism is unknown since neither the universality of the competition nor its microscopic nature…
There have been recent reports of charge ordering around $x=0.5$ in the bilayer manganites. At $x=0.5$, there appears to be a coexistence region of layered A-type antiferromagnetc and charge order. There are also reports of orbital order in…
We develop a microscopic theory for the charge ordering (CO) transitions in the spinels AlV$_2$O$_4$ and LiV$_2$O$_4$ (under pressure). The high degeneracy of CO states is lifted by a coupling to the rhombohedral lattice deformations which…
