Abstract
The peculiarities of the energy spectrum of the decorated mixed spin two-leg ladder system having three spin unit cells have been studied by the perturbation theory in the limit of dominant spin coupling in ladder rungs. It is shown, that despite the singlet ground state, this spin ladder may have an intermediate plateau in a low-temperature magnetization profile. The existence of a similar plateau was shown also in the case of some intermediate values of coupling parameters by means of exact diagonalization study of small ladder clusters and by the density-matrix renormalization group calculations. We also found that the Ising type of interactions in ladder rungs may lead to the disappearance of the above intermediate magnetization plateau for the corresponding isotropic spin ladder.
