Abstract
We have shown that the observed large reduction of the effective moment in Na2V3O7 may be caused by conventional crystal-field interactions and the intra-atomic spin-orbit coupling of the V4+ ion. The fine discrete electronic structure of the 3d1 configuration with the weakly-magnetic Kramers-doublet ground state, caused by the large orbital moment, is the reason for anomalous properties of Na2V3O7. Moreover, according to the Quantum Atomistic Solid-State Theory (QUASST), Na2V3O7 is expected to exhibit pronounced heavy-fermion phenomena at low temperatures. PACS No: 71.70.E; 75.10.D Keywords: crystal-field interactions, spin-orbit coupling, orbital moment. Na2V3O7
