Microscopic magnetic properties of vanadium oxides. II. V3O5, V5O9, V6O11, and V6O13

Abstract
The local distributions of magnetization in V3 O5, V5 O9, V6 O11, and V6 O13 have been determined in their metallic, insulating, and antiferromagnetic insulating phases by means of V51 nuclear magnetic resonance. Magnetic inequivalence of atomic sites is found in each phase. At every metal-insulator transition, radical changes in local magnetic properties occur. Increased charge differentiation and localized-moment or spin-paired behavior are found in the insulating phases. In the metallic phases, partial charge differentiation and strongly correlated narrow-band behavior are observed.
