摘要
Electronic structure calculations were performed for ZnV2O4, a material close to a metal-insulator transition. Structural optimization leads to the formation of V-V dimers along the off-plane chains. A strong spin-lattice coupling is expected close to the transition to itinerancy. No orbital ordering is observed in such a structure, and the experimentally found magnetic structure is naturally explained. (C) 2008 Elsevier B. V. All rights reserved.
