Abstract
Interesting magnetic properties and spin-exchange interactions along various possible pathways in the half-integral spin quantum magnetic tetramer system: A(2)PO(4)OH (A=Co, Cu) are investigated. Interplay of structural distortion and the magnetic properties with the evolution of localized band structure explain the gradual transition from a three-dimensional antiferromagnet to a low-dimensional frustrated magnetic system along the series. A detailed study of the exchange mechanism in this system explores various possibilities of complex magnetic interaction. The electronic structure of this series, studied with the help of different appropriate density functional approaches such as Nth order muffin-tin orbital (NMTO) and plane-wave pseudopotential calculations incorporating onsite Coulomb repulsion (U), identifies the underlying magnetic exchange mechanism of this series. Thereafter a generalized minimal model spin-Hamiltonian is constructed for the low-dimensional system. Solution of this model Hamiltonian within first-order perturbation theory results in the evaluation of spin-gap in the spin-tetramer system. In addition, the effects of size confinement and volume reduction on the relevant exchange integrals and spin-gap of the low-dimensional system are also discussed.

Abstract
Mixed M(II)/M(III) metal oxalates, as "stripes" connected through strong hydrogen bonding by para-dimethylaminobenzaldeide (DAMBA) and water, form an organic-inorganic 2D network that enables segregation in layers of the cationic organic NLO-phore trans-4-(4-dimethylaminostyryl)-1-methylpyridinium, [DAMS+]. The crystalline hybrid materials obtained have the general formula [DAMS]4[M2M'(C2O4)6].2DAMBA.2H2O (M = Rh, Fe, Cr; M' = Mn, Zn), and their overall three-dimensional packing is non-centrosymmetric and polar, therefore suitable for second harmonic generation (SHG). All the compounds investigated are characterized by an exceptional SHG activity, due both to the large molecular quadratic hyperpolarizability of [DAMS+] and to the efficiency of the crystalline network which organizes [DAMS+] into head-to-tail arranged J-type aggregates. The tunability of the pairs of metal ions allows exploiting also the magnetic functionality of the materials. Examples containing antiferro-, ferro-, and ferri-magnetic interactions (mediated by oxalato bridges) are obtained by coupling proper M(III) ions (Fe, Cr, Rh) with M(II) (Mn, Zn). This shed light on the role of weak next-nearest-neighbor interactions and main nearest-neighbor couplings along "stripes" of mixed M(II)/M(III) metal oxalates of the organic-inorganic 2D network, thus suggesting that these hybrid materials may display isotropic 1D magnetic properties along the mixed M(II)/M(III) metal oxalates "stripes".

Abstract
The effect of a parallel magnetic field on superconducting two-leg ladders is investigated numerically. The magnetization curve displays an irrational plateau at a magnetization equal to the hole density. Remarkably, its stability is fundamentally connected to the existence of a well-known magnetic resonant mode. Once the zero-field spin gap is suppressed by the field, pairs acquire a finite momentum characteristic of a Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov phase. In addition, Sz = 0 triplet superconducting correlations coexist with singlet ones above the irrational plateau. This provides a simple mechanism in which the Pauli limit is exceeded as suggested by recent experiments.

Abstract
The crystal structure of bis(cyclopentylammonium)tetrabromocuprate(II) has been determined at room temperature and at -70 degrees C. The room temperature structure is orthorhombic, space group Pn2(1)a, with a = 12.092(6) A, b = 8.134(4) A, and c = 18.698(10) A. The low temperature structure is also orthorhombic, space group Pna2(1), with a = 24.111(5) A, b = 8.089(2) A, and c = 18.448(4) A. DSC studies reveal the presence of a weak endotherm at -13 degrees C. The structures of the two phases are very similar, differing only in the relative orientations of the cyclopentyl rings of the organic cations and slight displacements of the anionic tetrahedra. The CuBr(4)(2)(-) anions in the low temperature phase are arranged to define a spin ladder system through Cu-Br.Br-Cu two-halide exchange pathways. Magnetic susceptibility data have been analyzed and yield antiferromagnetic exchange strengths 2J(rail)/k = -11.6 K and 2J(rung)/k = -5.5 K with a singlet-triplet gap energy Delta/k(B) = 2.3 K. This is the first report of a spin ladder with a stronger interaction along the axis of the ladder than along the rungs.

Superconductivity of the Sr2Ca12Cu24O41 spin-ladder system: are the superconducting pairing and the spin-gap formation of the same origin? PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS 2003; 90:137001.

Abstract
Pressure-induced superconductivity in a spin-ladder cuprate Sr2Ca12Cu24O41 has not been studied on a microscopic level thus far although the superconductivity was already discovered in 1996. We have improved the high-pressure technique using a large high-quality crystal, and succeeded in studying the superconductivity using 63Cu nuclear magnetic resonance. We found that the anomalous metallic state reflecting the spin-ladder structure is realized and the superconductivity possesses an s-wave-like character in the meaning that a finite gap exists in the quasiparticle excitation: At a pressure of 3.5 GPa, we observed two excitation modes in the normal state from the relaxation rate T-11. One gives rise to an activation-type component in T-11, and the other T-linear component linking directly with the superconductivity. This gapless mode likely arises from free motion of holon-spinon bound states appearing by hole doping, and the pairing of them likely causes the superconductivity.

Abstract
We report on the modulation of the transport properties of thin films, grown by molecular beam epitaxy, of the spin-ladder compound [CaCu2O3]4, using the field effect in a gated structure. At high hole-doping levels, superconductivity is induced in the nominally insulating ladder material without the use of high-pressure or chemical substitution. The observation of superconductivity is in agreement with the theoretical prediction that holes doped into spin ladders could pair and possibly superconduct.
