Exchange Coupling in Spin Ladder Compounds
Helmut Eschrig, (IFW-Dresden)
The electronic structure of the undoped cuprate chain systems Bi2CuO4, Sr2CuO3, Ca2CuO3, GeCuO3, Li2CuO2, SrCuO, and of NaV2O5 is obtained by density functional calculations in a local orbital basis, with LDA or LDA+U, and the relevant thight binding models are derived. With reasonable guesses of U-values, exchange constants can be inferred. Capabilities and limitations of the density functional approach to this field are discussed.
