Abstract

We have carried out a wide range of calculations for the Heisenberg model with nearest- and second-neighbor interactions on a two-dimensional lattice which describes the geometry of the vanadium ions in the spin-gap system CaVO. The methods used were convergent high-order perturbation expansions (``Ising'' and ``Plaquette'' expansions at , as well as high-temperature expansions) for quantities such as the uniform susceptibility, sublattice magnetization, and triplet elementary excitation spectrum. Comparison with the data for CaVO indicates that its magnetic properties are well described by nearest-neighbor exchange of about 200K in conjunction with second-neighbor exchange of about 100K.
