Charge ordering and spin dynamics in NaV(2)O(5).

چکیده
We report high-resolution neutron inelastic scattering experiments on the spin excitations of NaV(2)O(5). Below T(c), two branches with distinct energy gaps are identified. From the dispersion and intensity of the spin excitation modes, we deduce the precise zigzag charge distribution on the ladder rungs and the corresponding charge order: Delta(c) approximately 0.6. We argue that the spin gaps observed in the low-T phase of this compound are primarily due to the charge transfer.

Ja n 20 01 Charge - ordering phase transition and order - disorder effects in the Raman spectra of NaV
In the ac polarized Raman spectra of NaV 2 O 5 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, caused by electrical disorder that originates from the fluctuating nature of the V 4.5+ valence state of vanadium. The structural correlation length, obtained...

متن کامل0 Effective Charge and Spin Hamiltonian for the Quarter - Filled Ladder Compound α ′ - NaV 2 O 5
An effective intra-and inter-ladder charge-spin hamiltonian for the quarter-filled ladder compound α ′-NaV 2 O 5 has been derived by using the standard canonical transformation method. In the derivation, it is clear that a finite inter-site Coulomb repulsion is needed to get a meaningful result otherwise the perturbation becomes ill-defined. Various limiting cases depending on the values of the...
متن کاملCreation and destruction of a spin gap in weakly coupled quarter-filled ladders.
We investigate weakly coupled quarter-filled ladders with model parameters relevant for NaV(2)O(5) using density-matrix renormalization group calculations on an extended Hubbard model coupled to the lattice. NaV(2)O(5) exhibits super-antiferroelectric charge order with a zigzag pattern on each ladder. We show that this order causes a spin dimerization along the ladder and is accompanied by a sp...
متن کامل1 5 A ug 1 99 8 High frequency dielectric and magnetic anomaly at the phase transition in NaV
We found anomalies in the temperature dependence of the dielectric and the magnetic susceptibility of NaV 2 O 5 in the microwave and far infrared frequency ranges. The anomalies occur at the phase transition temperature T c , at which the spin gap opens. The real parts of the dielectric constants ǫ a and ǫ c decrease below T c. The decrease of ǫ a (except for the narrow region close to T c) is ...
