    The family events observed at Mt. Fuji were carefully examined to find the anomalously-penetrating showers suggested from the analysis of the data obtained at Mt. Chacaltaya. Our analysis shows that the existence of such anomalous showers beyond fluctuations are not recognized in our family data.

    The solution of the Ornstein-Zernike equation is investigated in the modified mean spherical approximation for a binary system consisting of equal-size hard spheres interacting with each other via a pairwise tail potential such as aiaj\varphi(r), with aiaj and \varphi(r) being the coupling strength between i- and j-species of hard spheres and an arbitrary potential function, respectively. For the Bhatia-Thornton partial structure factors SNN(q), SNC(q) and SCC(q), this solution produces a relationship like [SNNS0][SCCc1c2]=SNC2, where S0(q) equals SNN(q) at a1=a2=0 and ci is the concentration. It is also shown that this relationship is in reasonably good agreement with the experimental results on thermodynamic properties of liquid Li–Pb alloy.

    Nuclear spin-lattice relaxation time (T1) of 139La in the antiferromagnet La2CuO4−δ and the superconductor (La0.9Ca0.1)2CuO4−δ has been measured in a zero applied field and temperature ranges of 1.7 K–299 K and 1.8 K–130 K, respectively. A divergent behavior of the relaxation rate (1⁄T1) toward the Néel temperature (TN\simeq250 K) which is characteristic of itinerant antiferromagnets has been observed in La2CuO4−δ above T\simeq70 K. An anomalous enhancement of 1⁄T1(T) below about 70 K has been observed in both oxides. Because of this unclarified enhancement, the change of 1⁄T1(T) which is associated with the superconducting transition was not observed in (La0.9Ca0.1)2CuO4−δ below Tc\simeq18 K.

    Nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) of 139La in La2−xBaxCuO4 has revealed an unexpected enhancement of nuclear relaxation rates, 1⁄T1 and 1⁄T2, with Ba-doping in the low-temperature region, suggesting the occurrence of magnetic instability at Tc*∼10 K. The remarkable pressure dependence of 1⁄T1 below Tc* is sharply in contrast to the pressure independence of 1⁄T1 above Tc*. At high pressures, the relaxation rates are remarkably enhanced below Tc*, increasing proportionally with decreasing temperature.

    Zero-field nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) spectra of 139La are examined at 1.3 K for single crystals and polycrystals of the antiferromagnetic La2CuO4 which have been subject to heat treatments of oxygenation or deoxygenation. Although the Néel temperature (TN) determined from the static susceptibility strongly depends on the heat treatments, the peak positions of the NQR spectrum at 1.3 K are invariant against the heat treatments for samples with TN between 135 and 305 K, suggesting that the sublattice moment of the Cu spins at low temperatures is invariant against the heat treatments. A simple oxygen-deficient model described by La2CuO4−δ is found to be inadequate from observed effects of the heat treatments on the line widths of the NQR spectrum.

    We studied the chaotic behaviour of soliton-like pulses in a modified Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation under the influence of an external force η(t): φtpφx+αφxx+βφxxx+γφxxxx+νφ=η(t). Our findings are as follows: (i) when the equation has the Galilean invariance (p=1), the external force η(t) does not promote chaotic behaviour of soliton-like pulses and (ii) when the equation does not have the Galilean invariance (p=2), irregular creations and annihilations of solitons and holes in the traveling state appear which may be due to the interaction of solitons, holes and radiations.

    Probability distributions of irradiance recently proposed by several authors are compared with experimental results of both high-order irradiance moments and log-amplitude variance that are obtained by a simultaneous measurement. In spite of the fact that almost all the distributions show a reasonable agreement with the experimental results of irradiance moments (measured up to the fifth order) within the saturation region at least, the distributions that can give a good fit also to the results of log-amplitude variance are very limited when they are assessed over the range of irradiance variances so far measured. A fundamental reason of this disagreement is discussed. In Appendix, expressions of the moments of both irradiance and log-amplitude truncated at a given level are shown along with a general theory of probability distribution functions with no finite cutoff value.

    We consider loopless clusters which are restructured repeatedly by diffusive particles released from the cluster itself, being essentially in equilibrium. The resulting clusters are self-similar with fractal dimension df. By means of the dimensional analysis we give df={ds2+2(dw−1)}⁄{ds+2(dw−1)}, where dw and ds denote the dimensions of the trajectory of the diffusive particles and of the space in which the cluster is embedded, respectively. The agreement with the numerical result in the case of ds=dw=2 obtained by Botet and Jullien is very good. We further make sure our theoretical prediction by simulating the limiting case of dw=1 (rectilinear trajectory). These constitute a breakthrough that the structure of the cluster in equilibrium can depend on the particle motion dw, which seems to be irrelevant to pattern formation.

    The fluorescence measurement with ultra-short excitation pulses is made to determine the non-Lorentzian shape of the absorption probability in the very far-wing of the sodium D transition collisionally perturbed by rare gas atoms. The absorption probability has been determined in the detuning range from −400 to 1000 cm−1. A steep decrease of absorption probability in the far blue-wing has first been found. A simplified relation between this far-wing structure and the interatomic potential curves is given theoretically. The maximum of the difference potential between X2Σ and B2Σ, which are the unbound states of an exciplex consisting of sodium and rare gas atoms, is determined from our experimental results.

    Total cross sections σt for collisional quenching of H(2s) atoms in H2, N2, O2, CO, CO2 and CH4 molecular targets have been measured in the projectile energy range from 0.2 to 3.5 keV. A H(2s) atom beam was produced by using H+–K near-resonant charge transfer collisions, and σt’s were determined with a beam attenuation method. It is demonstrated that, in the lower energy region (<0.5 keV) where the 2s-2p de-excitation process dominates, the long-range interaction due to polarization of a target molecule is more important than that due to its permanent quadrupole moment M2. This result is not consistent with theoretical treatments where M2 is assumed to be more effective than the polarization. In the higher energy region (\gtrsim0.5 keV), the σt curves behave in complex manners due to opening of other quenching processes such as electron-loss and electron-capture processes.

    Total excitation cross sections for the magnetic sublevels of the 2p state of Li have been measured in Li+ collisions with Ar and Kr atoms in the energy range between 0.4 to 4.0 keV by means of an optical spectroscopic technique. It was found that the energy dependence of the cross sections as well as their magnitude is very similar between Ar and Kr targets. Excitation processes are discussed on the basis of the promotion model based on the state diabatic correlation diagrams.

    Nonlinear oscillation described by the equation, \ddotx+sinx+(ε12cosx)\dotx=0, is considered. By applying Hori’s general perturbation theory for non-canonical system, a necessary condition for the existence of limit cycles is given in terms of ε1 and ε2, and analytical expressions for limit cycles are obtained up to the first order. The analytical approximate solutions are compared with numerical solutions and satisfactory agreement between them is observed.

    Ion cyclotron range of frequencies (ICRF) heating in the two-ion hybrid resonance regime is numerically studied and the results are compared with those of the heating experiments on the JET tokamak. The kinetic one-dimensional analysis of the ICRF wave is coupled with the anisotropic Fokker-Planck equation and the one-dimensional transport code, Spatial transport coefficients are inferred from those of the drift wave model and a phenomenological internal disruption is introduced. Calculated power deposition profiles agree well with experimental results. Degradation of confinement with increasing heating power, profile modification due to the off-axis heatinq and heat pulse propagation after the internal disruption are well reproduced by our simulation model.

    Further study of a model in which decay of the magnetic flux is taken into account has been made following other authors’ works. Contrary to a current speculation, the lhd anomaly decreases the flux loss time tφ even in its order of magnitude, as well as the particle loss tN. The physical reason is discussed in the text. For various sets of given parameters in computation, the model is compared with published data of FRX-C experiments in Los Alamos and it is concluded that levels of the lhd anomaly are too low by two or three orders of magnitude to explain the observed tφ and tN simultaneously. An assumption of uniform resistivity leads to rather good agreement with experiments: the lhd anomaly is overwhelmed by a roughly uniform anomaly due to unknown causes.

    In the CTCC-I experiment, the instability appears in almost all the discharges and occurs several times in the every discharge. The dominant toroidal mode number for this instability is the n=2, which is measured using a toroidally arrayed magnetic probe. This mode shows different behavior in the instabilities; in the earlier and intermediate phase of the discharge the saturation phase come to appear, but near the termination this saturation phase does not appear. These phenomena probably depend on the magnetic Reynolds number. The evolution of the magnetic field configuration is also investigated. From these results, the instability observed in the CTCC-I spheromak is found to be the n=2 ideal kink mode.

    The crystal structure of 97% deuterated ammonium dihydrogen phosphate (DADP) is analyzed in the antiferroelectric (AFE) phase. Comparing the AFE distortion of PO4 tetrahedrons and the change of the position of the N atom at the phase transition temperature (Tc) in DADP with those in ADP, the author found that the distortion and the change of the position are larger in DADP than in ADP. This is consistent with the conclusion obtained by the electron spin resonance (ESR) study. In the AFE phase the AFE distortion of PO4 tetrahedrons and the position of the N atom do not depend on temperature remarkably. These do not agree with the ESR data.

    The absolute crystal structure of the deuterated dicalcium strontium propionate (DDSP) has been determined by the X-ray diffraction with a four-circle automatic diffractometer at three temperatures in each of the paraelectric and ferroelectric phases. The space group is determined to be D44-P41212 or D48-P43212 in the paraelectric phase with the R-factors less than 3% and to be C42-P41 or C44-P43 in the ferroelectric phase with the R-factors less than 5%. The molecular structure of the deuterated propionates is also elucidated and compared with that of the nondeuterated one. The comparison confirms the structure quite similar to each other, indicating no isotope effect on the molecular structure. The disordered arrangement of the propionate molecules on (001) plane is observed in the ferroelectric phase similarly to the nondeuterated DSP.

    The crystal structure of ζ-phase AgZn has been reconsidered. It is shown that the static structure of ζ-AgZn is expressible in terms of (i) two types of lattice waves (phonon modes) and (ii) one type of probability density wave of Zn atom site-occupation. It is noted that the relevant phonon modes are the soft modes existing commonly in bcc Hume-Rothery alloys. It is pointed out that ζ-AgZn shares the common origin of stabilization with 9R martensites and ω-phase.

    First-principles pseudopotentials of the hcp divalent metals are constructed following the method proposed by Hasegawa and Watabe (J. Phys. C (Solid St. Phys.) 16 (1983) L29). These pseudopotentials have several practical advantages: They are energy-independent and expressed in terms of simple analytic functions. These pseudopotentials are used in the second-order perturbation calculations for primarily predicting stable crystal structures. The predicted axial ratios ca of the hcp structure are 1.793 and 1.725 for Zn and Cd respectively at the densities observed at 0 K, being in reasonable agreement with experiment especially for Zn. The results of calculations for Mg, which has essentially an ideal ca ratio, are also presented for comparisons.

    Raman scattering spectra of internal modes have been studied in antiferroelectric NH4H2AsO4 at several temperatures near the transition temperature TN. The evidence of the C1 local site symmetry of H2AsO4 in the paraelectric phase has not been obtained even just above TN. The integrated intensity of the ν2 mode giving the justification of the C1 symmetry in the antiferroelectric phase increases with decreasing temperature below TN. In addition, the linewidth of the ν1 internal mode increases with increasing temperature. From the latter two results, the relaxation of the rigid ice constraint is proposed in the discussion of the models of the phase transition in hydrogen bonded antiferroelectrics.

    Frequencies of the localized modes around a soliton are calculated for finite length CnHn+2+, CnHn+2, CnDn+2+ and CnDn+2 (n odd). The molecular orbital method and three dimensional normal coordinate analysis are used. The frequency of the C–C stretching translational mode (T) is significantly affected by the chain length for both isotopes. For CnDn+2+, this mode couples with the C–D bending translational mode (TH). This coupling is seen clearly in the displacement vectors. The coupling explains well the two broad peaks in the i.r. spectrum if the chain lengths have a distribution around n\simeq13∼21. It is also found that dopant pinning has similar effects to chain shortening; namely, reducing the soliton width, raising the frequency of the T mode, and causing coupling of the T and TH modes. The effective mass of a soliton is found to have the same value in CnHn+2+, CnHn+2, CnDn+2+ and CnDn+2.

    The fracture plane of potassium iodide which experienced the phase transition at high pressure was observed with the stereoscopic microscope at zero pressure, where the pressure was applied in the controlled rate and removed rapidly in various time intervals, Δt’s, after the initiation of the phase transition was detected. The outer region of the fracture plane observed, domain B, was bumpy and random, suggesting that this region experienced the phase transition. However, the inner region of the fracture plane, domain F, was smooth, flat and considerably cleavable, indicating that this domain remained almostly at B1 in the case of very small Δt. Although increasing Δt did not alter the geometrical appearance of the fracture plane, the cleavability in phase F was rather lost, which leads us to the conclusion that the transition following the formation of domain B proceeded over the entire volume of domain F.

    An antiferromagnetic triangular Ising model with ferromagnetic next nearest neighbor interactions is studied by means of a transfer matrix method and a finite size scaling. Using the Roomany-Wyld approximation, it cannot be concluded definitely whether the system has only one critical point or not. By studying decays of the correlation functions of each sublattice, it is found that there is a finite temperature region where the correlation functions of each sublattice show a power law decay, namely, in this region every temperature is a critical temperature. The results by means of the present transfer matrix method are in good agreement with that by Monte Carlo methods, namely, the discrepancy between both results, reported recently, can be got rid of.

    The modulated structure in the incommensurate phase of quartz was studied by high voltage electron microscopy. The modulation was found to be due to formation of triangular microdomains of the Dauphiné twins. In addition to the well known Dauphiné twin relation we found that at the Dauphiné twin boundaries there exist lattice displacement parallel to the boundaries. The significant relations among the atom arrangements in neighboring domains, the lattice displacement and the orientation of the Dauphiné twin boundary were deduced, which determine a domain configuration in the modulated structure. Our observations indicate that the modulated structure is formed by freezing of the two kinds of atomic displacement which correspond to the B1 type optic phonon mode and transverse accoustic (TA) phonon mode on the Σ line.

    The dynamics of an electron in a one-dimensional tight-binding model with incommensurate sinusoidal modulation (Harper’s model) is studied numerically. The width of a wavepacket of an electron put on a single site at the time t=0 exhibits such asymptotic time evolution as \sqrt⟨Δx2⟩∼tα, where the dynamical index α takes only three values: α=1 for V<Vc, α=0 for V>Vc and α=αc (a value near 1/2) for V=Vc, where V is the strength of modulation and Vc is the critical value. This behavior is in a striking contrast with that in Fibonacci chains, in which α can take any value between 0 and 1 depending on the modulation strength as shown in our preceding paper [J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. 57 (1988) 230].

    The zero-bias anomaly in the tunnel conductance G(V, H) characteristics of Pb-SiO1+x-InSb junctions was investigated under zero and 37.2 kOe magnetic fields at 4.4 K for the junction fabricated on n-InSb (n=8.14×1016 cm−3) and under magnetic fields from 0 to 31.0 kOe at 4.2 K for the junction fabricated on p-InSb (p=2.65×1016 cm−3). The G(V, H) was almost independent of the magnetic field for the junction fabricated on n-InSb. For the junction fabricated on p-InSb, the magnetic field dependence of differential resistance R(0, H)=1⁄G(0, H) was found to obey the relation ln R(0, H)∝H. Taking into account the shrinkage of hole orbit in localized states with the magnetic field, we can explain the behavior by the variable-range hopping assisted tunneling.

    Single crystals of the ferromagnetic dense Kondo system CeSix were grown, and the specific heat, the electrical resistivity and the magnetic susceptibility were measured. Electrical resistivity measurements clearly show the typical Kondo behavior, which unambiguously tells that CeSix is a ferromagnetic dense Kondo system. The appreciable anisotropy of the magnetic susceptibility is analyzed with the crystalline field effect and a conjecture is made that the ground doublet is a Γ7-like doublet.

    Magnetization and Mössbauer effect have been measured for bcc, fcc and amorphous Fe1−y(Cu1−xAgx)y alloys sputter-deposited on liquid nitrogen cooled substrates. These alloys are ferromagnetic at low temperatures. In the fcc Fe1−y(Cu1−xAgx)y alloys with y=0.65 and 0.85, the magnetic moment of Fe atoms and the magnetic hyperfine field of 57Fe nuclei increase with the increase in x. The substitution of Ag atoms with a large atomic size for Cu atoms increases the atomic volume of Fe atoms, leading to a larger magnetic moment of Fe atoms as well as a larger magnetic hyperfine field. The magnetic and Mössbauer characteristics of the amorphous alloys are similar to those of the fcc alloys with the proximate concentrations.

    The successive magnetic phase transitions (TN1 and TN2) and magnetic properties of CsNiCl3, a Heisenberg antiferromagnet on the triangular lattice, have been investigated by means of the nuclear magnetic resonance of 133Cs. In the low temperature phase (T<TN2), the 120° structure of Ni2+ spins was confirmed by the angular dependence of NMR spectra. In the intermediate phase (TN2<T<TN1), the observed angular dependences of NMR spectra can not be explained by the simple component disorder model which has been proposed previously. We interpret the NMR results in the intermediate phase by the component disorder model with the quasi-degeneracy. It was found that the quasi-degeneracy due to the freedom of rotation of the 120° spin structure in the ac-plane survives beyond TN2 down to about 3 K.

    The thermal expansions and magnetostrictions of CexLa1−xB6 (x=1.0, 0.5 and 0.25) single crystals in both longitudinal and transverse magnetic fields up to 80 kOe have been performed in the temperature range from 1.39 K and ∼20 K. In the paramagnetic region, the results show the systematic but drastic variations with increasing Ce concentration indicating the importance of the interaction between Ce ions. The magnetic field induced enhancement of the crystal volume shrinkage observed in Phase II indicates that the antiferro-quadrupolar ordering has a magnetic field induced character. The anisotropic expansion of the crystal volume was observed in the single domain state in Phase III.

    The cluster spin decomposition is applied to the projector Monte Carlo simulation. We investigate the ground state energy and transverse correlation functions of one dimensional XY model. We enlarge the size of cluster up to nine. For fairly large τ, the agreement of Monte Carlo data with exact results is very good.

    Magnetizations of two trinuclear chromium salts are measured in pulsed magnetic fields up to 350 kOe. The experiment is done below 1 K using a 3He cryostat arranged in a large-bore magnet of 6 cm in diameter. In Cr-propionate, the ground state crossover from S=1⁄2 to S=3⁄2 is observed at 272 kOe as a stepwise increase in the magnetization curve. The measurement in Cr-acetate at 0.6 K shows that the increase consists of two steps at 276 kOe and 314 kOe corresponding to two inequivalent sites of magnetic trimers in this compound. The magnitudes of the intra- and inter-trimer exchange interactions are discussed.

    The transition temperatures TSP and TN of the paramagnetic state to the spin-Peierls state and to the Néel state are derived on the basis of the phase Hamiltonian, which takes proper account of the quantum nature of the quasi-one-dimensional Heisenberg antiferromagnet coupled with the lattice distortion. The expressions of TSP and TN are essentially the same as those obtained by Cross and Fisher and by Fowler. The tendency of the competition betweern the spin-Peierls state and the Néel state for Tc is in accordance with the phase diagram of the ground state obtained previously.

    The distribution of the hyperfine field at 27Al in Fe0.695Al0.305 alloy in thermal equilibrium state at various annealing temperature, Ta was measured to study microscopically the phase transition from B2 to DO3 in the reentrant spin glass composition in FeAl alloy system. At the B2 phase, the simple broad spectrum is observed. When Ta is reduced and enters to DO3 region, the spectrum separates roughly to two groups. One has a peak at about 55 MHz (Sig.H) and the other has a peak at about 30 MHz (Sig.L). Sig.L increases rapidly and, at the same time, Sig.H decreases with decreasing Ta without shifting the peak positions. The results directly show that the phase transition occurs heterogeneous way as that DO3 region expands at the expense of B2 region. The coexistence is still observed at sufficiently low Ta. The coexistence is inevitable in this non-stoichiometric composition.

    Spin-lattice relaxation times of Co2+ spins in yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) are investigated below 100 K. Co2+ impurities in YAG have the octahedral, tetrahedral and interstitial sites and these spins have considerably different local crystalline electric field symmetries and intensities. The observed relaxation times well reflect the local fields and it is found that the octahedral and interstitial spins show the Orbach relaxation process with the energy gap Δk of 280 K and 95 K, respectively, while the tetrahedral spin shows simple direct- and Raman-processes.

    The microscopic magnetic properties of the heavy-electron compound YbP have been investigated by 31P NMR at temperatures from 0.38 to 600 K. The observations of both an abrupt decrease of 1⁄T1 at around 0.7 K and additional broadening of the spectrum below this temperature show that YbP orders magnetically at low temperatures. In the paramagnetic state, the Knight shift vs susceptibility plot exhibits a marked change of the slope at around 100 K with a larger hyperfine coupling constant of −4.02 kOe/μB below 100 K. Based on a semimetallic band structure of the compound, a simple model is presented, in which the previously observed anomalous broad maximum in the low-temperature specific heat is ascribed to the Kondo effect due to a large mixing between a Γ6 ground state of 4f hole of Yb3+ ion and occupied P-derived 3p states in the valence bands. The contribution of this p-f mixing mechanism to the transferred hyperfine interaction is also evaluated.

    Phase transition temperatures of single crystals of Rb2CoCl4 prepared by the Bridgman method were checked by a DTA technique and a dielectric measurement and it was found that the Curie temperature TC is −74°C and the normal-incommensurate transition point Ti is 21°C on heating. The thermal anomaly at the Curie temperature TC was observed by the DTA technique with a Ge–Ag thermocouple. The temperature dependence of the dielectric constants in the b and c directions was measured in a temperature range covering these phase transition points and the temperature dependence of Ps and Ec was determined from the observed 50 Hz D-E hysteresis loop, respectively. It was determined that the ferroelectric axis of Rb2CoCl4 is the a axis in reality.

    The effect of random interaction among dipolar impurities on the dielectric properties of doped alkali halide KI1−x(NO2)x was investigated through the dielectric measurement. The dielectric constant shows a maximum at a temperature TF, which depends on both the measuring frequency and the NO2 concentration x. The dielectric dispersion data represented in the conventional. Cole-Cole plot show characteristic asymmetry, and the data having the same value of Tx fall on a universal curve. These features of the obtained Cole-Cole plot agree qualitatively with theoretical predictions based on a Glauber model with random dipole-dipole interaction.

    Piezoreflectance spectra of rubidium chloride were measured in the photon energy range from 6 to 30 eV at about 120 K. For the structure at 9.01 eV, cubic piezoreflectivity spectrum do not have line shape proportional to that of the logarithmic energy derivative of reflectivity spectrum, and both of tetragonal and trigonal responses on piezoreflectivity were observed. We ascribed it to a composite of the L and X excitons. The piezoreflectance responses of the core excitons located between 15 and 18.5 eV are interpreted well by the localized excitation model by Satoko and Sugano.

    Optical reflectance spectra of CeO2 crystal have been measured in the photon energy range from 2.5 to 40 eV. A Kramers-Kronig analysis of the reflectance data has been performed to obtain the dielectric function and related functions. The observed spectral features can be explained in terms of the charge transfer and interband transitions and the atomic-like excitation of the Ce 5p core electron. A peak regarded as a candidate for the “4f2” feature has been observed at an excitation energy of 13 eV.

    We consider retinal and its related compounds in planar configuration provided they have no ionic structure, and we extend the ordinary INDO–CI method to calculate their bond lengths in consistence with their electronic states. One of the important features of our extended INDO–CI method is that each bond length is calculated as a function of bond order which is similar to the Coulson type of relation derived by the π-electron approximation. The extended INDO–CI calculations of the bond lengths, electronic structure and optical absorptions of the molecules indicate that the previous results, which were obtained by Suzuki et al. using the π-electron approximation, are reasonable.
