A new model to describe the physics of VOPO

Abstract

In the past different models for the magnetic salt vanadyl pyrophosphate (VOPO) were discussed. Neither a spin ladder nor an alternating chain are capable to describe recently measured magnetic excitations. In this paper we propose a 2D model that fits better to experimental observations.
