  6. Charge Ordering vs. Charge Disproportionation • Long-range Charge Ordering (CO) vs. Charge Disproportionation (CD) • Charge Frustration • Melting of CO • Charge Fluctuation/Charge Dynamics • Various Optical/Dielectric responses

  7. How can NMR detect CO/CD? Note that; • Not detecting “charge” but “spin”density • Not detecting Long Range CO but just the distribution of local charge (spin) • What we observed in CO/CD systems in common were anomalous broadening of NMR spectrum. How can CO/CD affect NMR spectrum and other NMR parameters?

  8. Brief introduction to NMR(Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) • Nuclear spin carries angular momentum, and magnetic moment, . • Zeeman splitting in strong magnetic field: • Resonance condition:  Magnetic moment; Angular momentum; Resonance Condition; Zeeman splitting for I=1/2

  9. NMR can detect CO/CD • Nuclei in material see local fields given by the environments in addition to the external field. • What we detect with NMR are the information of the local field; Local field distribution Central shift  Local field at each nuclear site

  11.   Interaction with electrons • Orbital motion and Chemical shift • Spin interaction and Knight shift Shielding current  Magnetic shielding current gives local field. Chemists concerns the isotropic part of the chemical shift tensor. It is usually small compared with the spin contribution.

  12.   Interaction with electrons • Orbital motion and Chemical shift • Spin interaction and Knight shift  Spin magnetization

  13.   Interaction with electrons • Orbital motion and Chemical shift • Spin interaction and Knight shift  Spin magnetization Lone-pair spin contribution is also anisotropic and much larger than orbital contribution in the present systems.

  14. Hyperfine interaction • Hyperfine interaction • Hyperfine interaction tensor • Knight shift ~ proportional to electron spin susceptibility ~ anisotropic due to the hyperfine tensor for a pure p-electron with uniaxial symmetry

  15. Hyperfine interaction • Inhomogeneity of Knight shift causes inhomogeneous broadening. • Inhomogeneous width should be proportional to the Knight shift. ~ proportional to electron spin susceptibility ~ anisotropic due to the hyperfine tensor    

  36. T-dependence of Local Susceptibilities under pressure Local susceptibility is the smallest on ‘B’ molecule. B molecule is a charge-poor site!

  37. Charge Ordering determined by Synchrotron X-ray Diffraction CD in the metallic state at ambient pressure: ‘B’ molecule is charge-rich! ~ inconsistent to the NMR results? Title: Charge Ordering in $\alpha$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$I$_3$ by Synchrotron X-ray DiffractionAuthors: by Toru Kakiuchi, Yusuke Wakabayashi, Hiroshi Sawa, Toshihiro Takahashi, Toshikazu NakamuraPublished: October 25, 2007J. Phys. Soc. Jpn., Vol.76, No.11, p.113702 Kakiuchi et al., JPSJ (2007)

  38. Theory explains this difficulty Transfer energies evaluated from first principle calculation by Kino Contact Point & Zero Gap State (ZGS) A,A'= +0.54 B= +0.64 C= +0.29 B molecule is charge-rich! Contact Point Dirac cone Katayama et al., JPSJ (2008)

  39. Theory explains this difficulty Local susceptibility is proportional to the density of state around the contact point, and not to the local charge! Katayama et al., Eur.Phys. (2009)

  40. Theory explains this difficulty U=0.4, Vp=0.05, Vc=0.17 Local susceptibility is determined by the density of states around the contact point.

  41. Conclusions 1. Non-stripe CO develops at low temperatures and under pressure. It does not break the lattice symmetry. 2. Charge-rich ‘B’ molecule has the smallest local susceptibility. It is consistent with X-ray and theoretical analysis. 3. Non-stripe CO may be relevant to the stabilization of the ZGS. T ZGS ZG

  42. What is the origin of CO in the metallic state of a-I3 salt? T Non-stripe CO should come from a band nature together with Coulomb interaction. Characteristic time of charge dynamics, if any, should be much shorter than the NMR time scale. The mechanism of CD is quite different from the case of the q-salt. ZGS ZG
