The density-matrix renormalization group method is used to study the three-band zigzag ladder model that simulates the electronic state of the t 2g-orbital system of the double string of the edge-shared CrO 6 octahedra in ...

Electronic states of hollandite vanadate K2V8O 16, a one-dimensional zigzag-chain system of t2g orbitals in a mixed valent state, are considered. We calculate the Madelung energies to determine the most stable charge-ordering ...
