Abstract
The thermal properties—specific heat, thermal conductivity, and thermal expansion coefficients—of a single crystal of quasi-one-dimensional variable-valence β-Na0.33V2O5 compound were studied. With lowering temperature, it sequentially undergoes the structural (T S ∼ 230 K), charge (T C ∼ 136 K), and magnetic (T N ∼ 22 K) phase transitions. The structural transition at T S , resulting in the ordering of the Na ions, and the charge ordering at T C , resulting in the charge redistribution over the positions of V ions, are accompanied by the anomalies in the temperature dependences of all the studied properties. The magnetic ordering at T N results in the appearance of the canted antiferromagnetic structure and manifests itself only in the anomaly in the temperature dependences of the thermal expansion coefficients.
