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…
Based on recent experimental evidences that the electronic charge degrees of freedom plays an essential role in the spin-Peierls--like phase transition of NaV$_2$O$_5$, we first make the mapping of low-energy electronic states of 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…
High-resolution X-ray diffraction data show that the low-temperature superstructure of alpha-NaV2O5 has an F-centered orthorhombic 2a x 2b x 4c superlattice. A structure model is proposed, that is characterized by layers with zigzag charge…
The low-temperature electronic and magnetic properties of NH$_4$V$_2$O$_5$, an isoelectronic analog of the spin-ladder compound $\alpha'$-NaV$_2$O$_5$, are investigated using DFT+$U$ calculations. Two charge-ordering patterns - zigzag and…
We present Density Matrix Renormalization Group calculations of the ground-state properties of quarter-filled ladders including static electron-lattice coupling. Isolated ladders and two coupled ladders are considered, with model parameters…
We present a microscopic model for alpha'-NaV2O5. Using an extended Hubbard model for the vanadium layers we derive an effective low-energy model consisting of pseudospin Ising chains and Heisenberg chains coupled to each other. We find a…
We report results of a new analysis for the low-temperature structure of alpha'-NaV2O5 from synchrotron x-ray diffraction experiments. We confirm the existence of two inequivalent ladder structures in each vanadium layer. Based on our…
We investigate weakly coupled quarter-filled ladders with model parameters relevant for NaV_2O_5 using density-matrix renormalization group calculations on an extended Hubbard model coupled to the lattice. NaV2O5 exhibits…
An effective intra- and inter-ladder charge-spin hamiltonian for the quarter-filled ladder compound $\alpha'$-NaV$_2$O$_5$ has been derived by using the standard canonical transformation method. In the derivation, it is clear that a finite…
We analyze the electronic structure of a mixed-valence ladder system. We find that structural anisotropy and complex electron correlations lead to on-rung charge localization and insulating character. Charge fluctuations within the rung of…
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 that in the quarter-filled ladder compound NaV_2O_5 the quasi-one-dimensional spin system is strongly coupled to a low-energy antiferroelectric mode of the excitonic type. This mode results from the interplay between the electron…
An investigation of the spin excitation spectrum of charge ordered (CO) NaV2O5 is presented. We discuss several different exchange models which may be relevant for this compound, namely in- line and zig-zag chain models with weak as well as…
Motivated by the co-existing charge and spin order found in strongly correlated ladder systems, we study an effective pseudospin model on a coupled two-leg ladder. A bosonisation analysis yields a rich phase diagram showing Wigner/Peierls…
We have performed ab-initio calculations of the electronic structure and exchange couplings in the layered vanadates CaV2O5 and MgV2O5. Based on our results we provide a possible explanation of the unusual magnetic properties of these…
We present microscopic estimates for the spin-spin and spin-speudospin interactions of the quarter-filled ladder compound NaV2O5, obtained by exactly diagonalizing appropriate clusters of the underlying generalized Hubbard Hamiltonian. We…
We present a detailed analysis of light scattering experiments performed on the quarter-filled spin ladder compound $\alpha^\prime$-NaV$_{2}$O$_{5}$ for the temperature range 5 K$\le$T$\le$300 K. This system undergoes a phase transition…
We investigate the phase diagram of a generalized spin-1/2 quantum antiferromagnet on a ladder with rung, leg, diagonal, and ring-exchange interactions. We consider the exactly soluble models associated with the problem, obtain the exact…
The "devil's staircase" type phase transition in the quarter-filled spin-ladder compound NaV2O5 has been discovered at low temperature and high pressure by synchrotron radiation x-ray diffraction. A large number of transitions are found to…
