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 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…

We propose a mechanism for the observed stacking charge order in the quarter-filled ladder compound NaV2O5. Via a standard mapping of the charge degrees of freedom onto Ising spins we explain the stacking order as a result of competition…
Charge and spin-Peierls instabilities in quarter-filled (n=1/2) compounds consisting of coupled ladders and/or zig-zag chains are investigated. Hubbard and t-J models including local Holstein and/or Peierls couplings to the lattice are…
We examine critically two different recently proposed models of charge ordering in the nominally 1/4-filled organic charge transfer solids (CTS). In one dimension, the two models are characterized by site charge densities of the form…

We conclude from 23Na and 51V NMR measurements in NaxV2O5(x=0.996) a charge ordering transition starting at T=37 K and preceding the lattice distortion and the formation of a spin gap Delta=106 K at Tc=34.7 K. Above Tc, only a single Na…
