We present angular dependent EPR measurements in NaV2O5 at X-band frequencies in the temperature range 4.2 K < T < 670 K. A detailed analysis in terms of the antisymmetric Dzyaloshinski-Moriya and the anisotropic exchange interactions yields the following scheme of charge order: On decreasing temperature a quarter-filled ladder with strong charge disproportions, existing for T > 100 K, is followed by zig-zag charge-order fluctuations which become long-range and static below T_SP=34 K.

We present the temperature dependence of shear and longitudinal elastic constants in a-NaV2O5. For the longitudinal c22 and c33 modes we find anomalies at Tc in contrast to the Spin Peierls substance CuGeO3 where only the longitudinal mode along the chain shows a pronounced effect at TSP. The c66 shear mode (propagation along the chain in b-direction polarization in a-direction) shows strong softening of 12%. Such a large effect is absent for all shear modes in CuGeO3. We can interpret this softening with a coupling of the exy symmetry strain to the charge fluctuation of B1g symmetry. We give the possible low temperature charge distribution.
We have investigated the charge ordering phase of the quasi one dimensional quantum antiferromagnet (TMTTF)$_2X$ ($X=$ SbF$_6$, AsF$_6$ and PF$_6$) using high fields/frequencies electron paramagnetic resonance. In addition to the uniform displacement of the counter anions involved in the charge order phase, we report the existence of a superlattice between the spin chains in the direction $c$, caused by the space modulation of the charge order. When the field is high enough, the magnetic decoupling of the spin chains allows us to estimate the interaction between the chains, $J_c<1$~mK, three orders of magnitude lower than expected from the mean field theory.

Charge ordering of V4+ and V5+ in NaV2O5 has been studied by an X-ray diffraction technique using anomalous scattering near a vanadium K-absorption edge to critically enhance a contrast between the two ions. A dramatic energy dependence of the superl attice intensities is observed below Tc=35 K. Consequently, the charge ordering pattern is the zigzag-type ladders with the unit cell 2a*2b*4c, but not the chain-type originally proposed for the spin-Peierls state. Charge disproportionation suggested in our model as the average valence V^{4.5+-delta_c/2} is observed below T_C, showing continuous variation of delta_c as a function of temperature.

We investigate the temperature dependent optical properties of NaV2O5, in the energy range 4meV-4eV. The symmetry of the system is discussed on the basis of infrared phonon spectra. By analyzing the optically allowed phonons at temperatures below and above the phase transition, we conclude that a second-order change to a larger unit cell takes place below 34 K, with a fluctuation regime extending over a broad temperature range. In the high temperature undistorted phase, we find good agreement with the recently proposed centrosymmetric space group Pmmn. On the other hand, the detailed analysis of the electronic excitations detected in the optical conductivity, provides direct evidence for a charge disproportionated electronic ground-state, at least on a locale scale: A consistent interpretation of both structural and optical conductivity data requires an asymmetrical charge distribution on each rung, without any long range order. We show that, because of the locally broken symmetry, spin-flip excitations carry a finite electric dipole moment, which is responsible for the detection of direct two-magnon optical absorption processes for E parallel to the a axis. The charged-magnon model, developed to interpret the optical conductivity of NaV2O5, is described in detail, and its relevance to other strongly correlated electron systems, where the interplay of spin and charge plays a crucial role in determining the low energy electrodynamics, is discussed.
Rare earth (R) half-Heusler compounds, RBiPt, exhibit a wide spectrum of novel ground states. Recently, GdBiPt has been proposed as a potential antiferromagnetic topological insulator (AFTI). We have employed x-ray resonant magnetic scattering to elu cidate the microscopic details of the magnetic structure in GdBiPt below T_N = 8.5 K. Experiments at the Gd L_2 absorption edge show that the Gd moments order in an antiferromagnetic stacking along the cubic diagonal [1 1 1] direction satisfying the requirement for an AFTI, where both time-reversal symmetry and lattice translational symmetry are broken, but their product is conserved.
