An evolution process has been investigated for the angle-deflective oscillation of the stripe pattern by changing suddenly an applied voltage across a thin layer of nematic liquid crystal from a sub-threshold voltage to an above-threshold voltage. An averaged time course of the amplitude of the oscillation and its course fluctuation have been obtained from data for the evolution processes repeated for an applied voltage. Anomalies in the course fluctuation have been found in an intermediate stage of the evolution process. Evolution processes for various applied voltages, also, have been investigated and every averaged time courses have been found to be expressed by a scale function.

A mass scaling rule for the electron (of mass

B=0), the scaling rule is verified to be valid for the mass ratio

The fraction of ions trapped by a laminar magnetosonic shock wave is evaluated theoretically. The heating rate due to the resonant ion acceleration is then obtained in terms of the Mach number and upstream plasma parameters. In addition, it is shown that, in spite of the large positive potential in the shock region, a laminar shock can reflect some electrons, as well as ions, because of the magnetic mirror effect.

First order magnetoelectric effect was observed at 77 K in an yttrium iron garnet (YIG) single crystal, when it was cooled down in both electric and magnetic fields simultaneously. The sign of observed signal was inverted when the electric field during cooling was reversed. The signal disappeared continuously around 130 K. This result indicates that YIG has a phase transition at the temperature below which the structure lacks the centre of inversion.

Dynamical behaviors of a pinned sine-Gordon soliton are studied numerically by solving a damped sine-Gordon equation in the external periodic force. In this paper, a partial differential equation is directly solved instead of the reduced system with the perturbation theory. Chaotic motion occurs through the sequence of the period-doubling bifurcation. Numerical results show the agreement with those by the perturbation method. This chaos localizes around the pinning point. Spatial dependence of the intensity of chaos is investigated.

Phase transition of frustrated Heisenberg antiferromagnet on the three-dimensional layered-triangular lattice is studied via a symmetry argument and Monte Carlo simulations. A symmetry argument shows that the order-parameter space of this model is isomorphic to the three-dimensional rotation group SO(3) or the projective space P
3, different from those of the corresponding nonfrustrated systems. The possibility is suggested that the system exhibits a novel type of phase transition characterized by its SO(3) symmetry. Extensive Monte Carlo simulations indicate the occurrence of a single continuous transition. By applying the finite-size scaling, respective exponents are estimated as α\simeq0.4, β\simeq0.25, γ\simeq1.1 and ν\simeq0.53. These values differ considerably from those for the standard nonfrustrated systems strongly suggesting a phase transition belonging to a new universality class. Several systems, including the superfluid A phase of helium 3, certain types of helical or canted magnets, are predicted to belong to the same universality class. Possible consequences for experiments are discussed.

In order to elucidate the dynamical features of the pulsatile blood flow in large arteries, we propose a soliton theory for a simplified and an idealized model-system of the blood motion in large blood vessels. The theory is performed for an infinitely long, straight, circular, homogeneous thin-walled elastic tube filled with an ideal fluid. It is shown the pulse waves of pressure and flow propagating through the arteries can be described as solitary waves excited by cardiac ejections of blood and the features of the pulse wave such as “peaking” and “steepening” are interpreted in the viewpoint of soliton. The clinical importance of the “lowest blood pressure” and the “pulse-pressure”, which corresponds to the amplitude of pressure pule-wave, is physically explained by the formula obtained from our theory.

The integral over the wavenumber space in the Hopf characteristic functional equation is approximated by a Monte Carlo quadrature so that the continuous dynamical degrees of freedom may be replaced by a finite number of discrete ones. The dynamics to govern the discrete variables (i.e. the sampled velocity modes) is built in such a way that the invariance properties of the original Navier-Stokes equation for incompressible inviscid flow are exactly preserved. A realization of flow based on this dynamics gives a plausible power law of energy decay and the −5⁄3 power law of energy spectrum with a proper Kolmogorov constant for Reynolds numbers 100∼500.

Spectroscopic and bolometric measurements with spatial and temporal resolution show that large radiation loss brings about the decrease in electron and ion temperature and plasma energy. Regarding emissivity in a core plasma, the result by bolometric measurements well agrees with that estimated from impurity abundance and radiative cooling rates. Carbon limiters have an effect to suppress the radiation loss for Ohmic plasma, but is insufficient for ICRF heated plasma. The main contribution to radiation loss may be attributed to Fe impurity released from the ICRF antennae, the Faraday shield and vacuum vessel. By making carbonization, the Fe impurity is suppressed to a low level (
nFe⁄

The plasma-maser effect corresponds to the vertex correction in standard weak turbulence theory. The growth rate of the Langmuir wave in a weakly nonstationary medium with nonsteady ion-sound turbulence is obtained. The Langmuir wave instability occurs through the imaginary part of the nonlinear dielectric constant. For electrostatic waves without the applied magnetic field, the instability comes from the direct mode-mode coupling term even for the nonsteady ion-sound turbulence.

P denotes a polarization component;
J is a mere coefficient;
Qα,

f is a function of any number of order parameters depending only on their absolute values and not on their arguments. These ferroelectric incommensurate phases, unlike those of the former three types, can succeed prototypic phases by second-order transition. Two imaginary examples of ferroelectric incommensurate phases of the fourth type are presented and investigated. In one of them the ferroelectric direction is perpendicular to the incommensurate direction, while in the other the two directions are parallel.

3+ ions are excited by a ruby laser. The time is also measured under the various combination of temperature, excitation laser power and magnetic field applied along the

1−x mixtures with

−1. It indicates that the bonding rearrangement is most active in this range of conductivity. A strong correlation is found between the heat capacity and the temperature dependence of magnetic susceptibility. In the semiconducting region, the large excess heat capacity can be attributed to the formation of dangling bonds. In the metallic region, the excess heat capacity can be related to the change in the density of states caused by the bonding rearrangement.

The facet edge of the crystal is investigated theoretically on the basis of the Terrace-Step-Kink (TSK) model. The statistical mechanics of this model is formulated in terms of the lattice Fermion approach. The analysis leads always to the Pokrovsky-Talapov-Gruber-Mullins transition. At the facet edge, the facet connects with the neighboring curved surface without discontinuity of the slope. In such model the lattice underlying the surface is assumed to be rigid without any deformation caused by emergence of the steps. We extend the TSK model to a more general model including relaxation of the lattice bonds caused by the steps. The lattice deformation increases the elastic energy but can decrease the step creation energy. We show that the extended model leads always to a sharp edge; there is a discontinuity of the slope at the facet edge.

A molecular theory of the crystal-melt interface is developed on the basis of statistical mechanical investigation of melting. From that point of view, the physical basis of existing conventional theories is explained, by paying a particular attention to Cahn’s theory. On the way, the physical meaning of the Ising model appearing as a basic idea in those theories is clarified by comparing with the theory of ferromagnetism, and in consequence, the expressions for the relevant parameters in those theories are given in terms of the integrals concerning the pairwise potential between component atoms which are essential in understanding the melting. An important mathematical analogy between the present theory and the theory of ferromagnetism is effectively taken into consideration. At the same time, certain fundamental differences in physical interpretations existing between the both theories are emphasized.

General arguments for resistivity and magnetoresistance are given.

It is shown that the resistivity along the crystal
c-axis becomes small for crystalline fields with tetragonal or hexagonal symmetry and that a peak of magnetoresistance is expected due to the Kondo effect re-enhancement.

The inelastic scattering time of electrons and the metal-insulator transition are studied in disordered thick bismuth films. In weakly disordered films, the anti-localization effect is observed, and dimensional crossover of the inelastic scattering between two and three is demonstrated by changing the thickness of the films. The critical exponent of the metal-insulator transition in this system which represents a disordered metal with strong spin-orbit interaction is examined and fixed to be unity. This indicates that the transition is governed by the electron-electron interaction.

Kondo-like effect on the low temperature resistivity associated with off-center Ge ions in Pb
1−xGe
xTe is theoretically explored. The tunneling motion of Ge ions between two equivalent sites along the [111] direction is introduced by means of the so-called two-level description. The observed nearly logarithmic temperature dependence of resistivity in Pb
1−xGe
xTe is ascribed to the strong coupling limit of the scaling of the interaction between carriers and the two-level system. In the presence of the structural phase change, the asymmetry of the double-well potential of Ge ions is induced. The freezing of scaling process at the energy comparable to splitting between two-levels leads to a drastic decrease of the logarithmic portion of resistivity below the critical temperature of the structural phase change.

General formulae for the free energy and the conductivity in the presence of a magnetic field are obtained for the system of electrons in a two-dimensional Wigner crystal on the surface of liquid He when the electrons interact with the surface roughness created by ripplons. The dc magneto-resistance is calculated explicitly and is shown to differ qualitatively from the result for the independent electron system.

An electron-phonon interaction in Kondo lattices is theoretically investigated. It is significantly screened by the Kondo effect, while the Thomas-Fermi type screening is weak in spite of a large specific heat coefficient. These features are owing to the reduction of the charge susceptibility by the Kondo effect. It is argued that the attractive interaction between adjacent
f electrons due to one-phonon exchange can overcome the on-site repulsive interaction due to Coulomb correlation for reasonable values of physical parameters, when ligands are composed of many ions, i.e., clusters, and modes besides the center of mass contribute to one-phonon exchange.

Superconducting and magnetic properties of the Chevrel compounds Ce

TK⁄
Tc0=0.01∼0.001. The magnetic susceptibility per mol Ce is independent of the Ce concentration and it is explained by the crystal field splitting and Kondo effect. A model of crystal field splitting which consists of three doublets with the excited energy of 10 K and 400 K in CeMo

p and the Curie temperature

x≤1) though antiferromagnetic interactions increase with decreasing
x in the Fe-rich region (
x<0.2). In the range of 0.05≤
x≤0.15, local fluctuation of Co composition is considered to give rise to a magnetically inhomogeneous structure above
TN: Co-rich regions tend to be ferromagnetic and Fe-rich local regions paramagnetic.

By parallel pumping experiments in ferromagnetic (CH

2CuCl
4 chaotic auto-oscillations of magnon amplitude are observed at the pumping frequency of 9.39 GHz and the temperature of 1.65 K. Strange attractors constructed in three-dimensional phase space from time series data of chaotic oscillations display properties of stretching and folding of the sheet of trajectories. Fractal dimensions of strange attractors are obtained by the method of the correlation integral as a function of driving microwave power. With increasing driving power fractal dimension increases from 1.6 to 3.4. The largest Lyapunov exponent is obtained as 0.43±0.05 by using empirical return maps. The chaotic state arises directly from period-two oscillations without cascade of period doubling bifurcations.

The domain formation in KDP crystal has been investigated with optical observation and X-ray measurement under various conditions. It is found that the relation between the thickness
d and the domain width
w of c-plate crystals under nonelectroded conditions does not follow the well-known square-root law. In the region of
d<1 mm,
w obeys the relation
w=
a+\sqrt
a2+
bd, whereas in the region of
d≥1 mm,
w is practically constant. In order to explain this result a domain formation model is proposed based on the spinodal decomposition with an interaction between the domain walls. The X-ray measurement reveals that the angle between the domain walls with (100) and (010) orientations is deviated slightly from 90° in the specimen eliminating the depolarizing field. This deviation is satisfactorily interpreted with the unequal volume fractions of positive and negative domains.

x. The absorption near the band gap saturated at
ΔA⁄
A0∼0.01. The decay of transient absorption at 4 K was fitted to \erf [(

−1⁄2] with τ=144±15 ns for
trans-(CD)
x and τ=305±27 ns for
trans-(CD)
x. When the temperature is increased, the decay kinetics are given by the same function with shorter time constants, τ=32±6 ns for
trans-(CH)
x and τ=40±6 ns for
trans-(CD)
x at 290 K. When the trans content in
cis-rich film decreased, the time constant became longer. The decay kinetics is interpreted by interchain recombination of photoinduced polaron pairs.

Tm is higher than that estimated from the variation of the lattice constants. Raman scattering is useful to determine the onset temperature for the glass formation of those mixed crystals.

The lowest frequency mode shows a remarkable increase in frequency and a decrease in peak intensity, in contrast to two other peaks. As a result of the considerable frequency change of the lowest mode, the crossing with a higher frequency mode is observed.
