We investigated the XMCD signal at the V L-2.3- and the O K- edges. Sum rul
es exhibit that NaV6O11 is mainly a spin magnet with a small contribution o
f an orbital moment, but due to the small spinorbit splitting of the V L-2,
L-3-edges a direct extraction of the magnetic moment is problematic. We can
identify two antiferromagnetically coupled sub bands. Ferromagnetic correl
ations were observed along one direction. The electronic transport properti
es are dominated along the easy axis in the canted ferrimagnetic low temper
ature structure.
