Magnetic susceptibility, high-field magnetization, and electron spin resonance measurements identify AgVOAsO4 as a gapped quantum magnet with a spin gap Delta ~ 13 K and a saturation field H_s ~ 48.5 T. Extensive band structure calculations establish the microscopic magnetic model of spin chains with alternating exchange couplings J ~ 40 K and J' ~ 26 K. However, the precise evaluation of the spin gap emphasizes the role of interchain couplings which are frustrated due to the peculiar crystal structure "},"claims":{"count":0,"items":[],"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"source":{"id":"1101.2546","kind":"arxiv","version":2},"verdict":{"id":null,"model_set":{},"created_at":null,"strongest_claim":"","one_line_summary":"","pipeline_version":null,"weakest_assumption":"","pith_extraction_headline":""},"references":{"count":0,"sample":[],"resolved_work":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57","internal_anchors":0},"formal_canon":{"evidence_count":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"author_claims":{"count":0,"strong_count":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"builder_version":"pith-number-builder-2026-05-17-v1"}
