چکیده
The strength and effect of Coulomb correlations in the (superconducting when hydrated) x ≈1/3 regime of NaxCoO2 have been evaluated using the correlated band theory LDA+U method. Our results, neglecting quantum fluctuations, are: (1) there is a critical Uc = 3 eV, above which charge ordering occurs at x=1/3, (2) in this charge-ordered state, antiferromagnetic coupling is favored over ferromagnetic, while below Uc, ferromagnetism is favored; and (3) carrier conduction behavior should be very asymmetric for dopings away from x=1/3. For x < 1 3 , correlated hopping of parallel spin pairs is favored, suggesting a triplet super-

Disproportionation, metal-insulator transition, and critical interaction strength in Na(1/2)CoO2.
Charge disproportionation (CD) and spin differentiation in Na(1/2)CoO2 are studied using the correlated band local-density approximation + Hubbard U (LDA+U) approach. The simultaneous CD and gap opening seen previously is followed in detail through a first-order charge disproportionation transition 2Co(3.5+)-->Co3++Co4+. Disproportionation in the Co a(g) orbital results in half of the ions (Co3...
متن کاملThe ferroelectric Mott - Hubbard phase of organic ( TMTTF ) 2 X conductors
We present experimental evidences for a ferro-electric transition in the family of quasi-one-dimensional conductors (TMTTF )2X. We interpret this new transition in the frame of the combined Mott-Hubbard state taking into account the double action of the spontaneous charge disproportionation on the TMTTF molecular stacks and of the X anionic potentials. PACS numbers: 71.30 +h, 7127 +a, 77.80 -e,...
متن کاملRole of oxygen in phagocyte microbicidal action.
Immune information in the form of inflammatory mediators directs phagocyte locomotion and increases expression of opsonin receptors such that contact with an opsonized microbe results in receptor ligation and activation of microbicidal metabolism. Carbohydrate dehydrogenation and O2 consumption feed reactions that effectively lower the spin quantum number (S) of O2 from 1 to 1/2 and finally to ...
متن کاملResonant x-ray scattering in 3d-transition-metal oxides: Anisotropy and charge orderings
The structural, magnetic and electronic properties of transition metal oxides reflect in atomic charge, spin and orbital degrees of freedom. Resonant x-ray scattering (RXS) allows us to perform an accurate investigation of all these electronic degrees. RXS combines high-Q resolution x-ray diffraction with the properties of the resonance providing information similar to that obtained by atomic s...
متن کاملThe nitrogen vacancy in aluminium nitride
We have carried out a computational study for the nitrogen vacancy in charge states +3, +2 and +1 in AlN in the metastable zinc-blende phase. The vacancy and its four nearest-neighbour Al ions are treated as a molecular cluster, embedded in an infinite classical shell-model crystal. The following ground state properties, all of which are determinable from experiment, have been calculated: total...
