37. S. Watanabe (private communication). There is no strict discussion that charge degrees of freedom can be mapped into spin up and down system. However, charge ordering patterns of some mixed-valence compounds were discussed as Ising spin systems, e.g., α′ -Na V2 O5, K. Ohwada, Phys. Rev. Lett.

56. S. Watanabe (private communication). Very recent first principles calculations demonstrated that the SC correlation is developed at the Kondo regime near the sharp valence transition, particularly in fractional carrier density systems.

58. K. Ohowada, Y. Fujii, and Y. Murakami (private communication). In SPring-8 synchrotron radiation facility using DAC, they observed steep disappearing of superstructure of lattice even at 3 GPa, even though MI transition was clearly observed at this pressure.
59. M. Itoh, T. Kozuka, I. Yamauchi, and T. Suzuki (private communications). Up to at least 6 GPa, they observed characteristic NMR spectra of charge disproportionation in this compound. This probably means an occurrence of charge ordering with quite small (invisible in x-ray diffraction measurements) lattice displacements.
