NaOsO3 hosts a rare manifestation of a metal-insulator transition driven by magnetic correlations, placing the magnetic exchange interactions in a central role. We use resonant inelastic x-ray scattering to directly probe these magnetic…
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+…
