Recent newspapers report that cold fusion of deuterons electrochemically infused into metals such as Pd has been observed by two research groups. We have made a rough estimate of the fusion rate of such deuterons on the basis of conventional solid-state physics. We take a model where deuterons are embedded into a jellium of metal electrons and interact via a screened Coulomb potential. The fusion rate depends strongly on the screening length, being larger for smaller length. For Pd metal, the length is estimated to be 0.12 Å, and even when the deuteron density in Pd is assumed to be 7×10
22 cm
−3, the output of fusion will be much less than that of microwatts per cubic centimeter of Pd.

Macroscopic circular and spiral phase wave propagation was observed for the first time in the rectangular pattern of electrohydrodynamic convection of nematic liquid crystal. The centers of the phase wave propagation were, in general, neither defects of the rectangular structure nor external heterogeneities. The power spectrum of the transmitted light locally measured exhibited two peaks, one a corresponding phase wave mode and the other an unentrained mode. The frequency of the phase wave mode was lower than that of the other mode.

The lamellar thickness of isotactic polystyrene crystallized at high supercoolings has been studied as a function of crystallization temperature and concentration. The temperature dependence of the lamellar thickness is explained by a rough surface growth model throughout the concentration range studied. The limiting thickness is found to increase with concentration. The effects of entanglement and uncrystallized cilia on the limiting thickness are discussed.

Raman spectra were investigated for BaMnF
4 to find soft modes. Two low-frequency, temperature-dependent modes were observed below the incommensurate structural phase transition (
Ti∼252 K). The observed level repulsion and intensity transfer are understood in terms of the anticrossing between the two modes. These are attributable to the amplitude mode (amplitudon) and hard (optical phonon) mode. From the observation of one amplitudon, it is suggested that the incommensurate distortion arises from the mode condensation at two incommensurate wave vectors.

The absorption spectrum of poly(3-alkylthiophene) such as poly(3-docosylthiophene) changes at the solid-liquid phase transition. This phenomenon can be interpreted in terms of the change of the effective conjugation length due to the existence of some twisted bonds between neighbouring thiophene rings on the polymer main chain in the liquid state. From measurements of the cyclic voltammogram in solid and liquid phases, the top of the valence band is confirmed to be located at a higher energy in the liquid state. Formation of polaronic states, even in the liquid state, has been clarified from the drastic change of absorption spectrum upon doping. A simple energy band scheme of poly(3-alkylthiophene) in the solid and liquid states is indicated.

1−xSi alloys with
x=0.48 and 0.77 in the temperature range from 4.2 to 340 K and under magnetic fields of up to 50 kOe. Magnetic contribution to a thermal expansion coefficient was estimated by subtracting the nonmagnetic contribution expressed by Grüneisen’s equation from the observed one. It was found that the magnetic thermal expansion coefficient has a positive and approximately constant value above the Curie temperature, and that the observed magnetovolume effect of these alloys is quantitatively well explained by the spin fluctuation theory developed by Moriya and Usami.

r in the form φ(
r)=
r2⁄2−α
r3⁄3+β
r4⁄4 have been presented. The contradiction lies in the role of quadratic nonlinearity α on the nonlinear term of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation describing the wave. Tsurui has shown (Prog. Theor. Phys.
48 (1972) 1196) that the nonlinear modulation takes place for β>0, but the quadratic nonlinearity α stabilizes the instability. Munakata and Igarashi (J. Phys. Soc. Jpn.
53 (1984) 620), on the other hand, have asserted that the quadratic nonlinearity enhances the instability. In this paper, we present the result of a simple numerical experiment on the role of quadratic nonlinearity by exciting, from one end of a nonlinear lattice, a sinusoidal wave modulated by semi-infinite pulse, and by observing the growth or damping of modulation, Our test shows that the quadratic nonlinearity stabilizes the modulational instability.

We give a possible interpretation of the adaptation of the charge density waves (CDW) to the pulse fields, which is observed to be accompanied with the memory of the width of the applied pulses (Ido step memory effect). When the identical pulse fields are repeatedly applied, successive state transitions are induced among metastable states. By the numerical simulations with the use of the Fukuyama-Lee-Rice model, we have found that only the state can be a fixed point in the transitions where the sliding motion under the pulse field satisfies a certain condition. Selecting the adequate state for a fixed point, the system adapts itself to the applied pulse width so that the current response has a common regularity regardless of the pulse width.

Continued from our pervious paper, we give our scenario which explains the adaptation of the charge density waves (CDW) to the pulse fields. The relaxed configuration after the pulse field suffers systematic deformations compared with the starting configuration, if the sliding displacement of the CDW is not adequate for a fixed point under the applied pulse. The successive state transitions can be focused on the adequate fixed point, if a special relation is satisfied, between the deformations of configurations and the corresponding changes of the sliding velocity, in the configuration space around the fixed point. By the numerical simulation with the use of the Fukuyama-Lee-Rice model, we confirm such a negative feedback can be actually working in some regions of the configuration space.

The cooperative behavior of a network of interacting nonlinear oscillators is investigated numerically. Such an oscillator-net serves as a phenomenological model for an endogenous circadian pacemaker in organisms. Following two types of network are examined. (1) Ordered oscillator-net: oscillators sit on the square-lattice points and interact with the nearest neighbors. (2) Random oscillator-net: each oscillator is influenced by a certain number of randomly chosen oscillators. Detailed computer experiment is made on the oscillator-net containing one hundred to one thousand oscillators. The self-entraining behavior is found to be very different in the two types of oscillator-net. The sample- and size-dependence are also studied. The relevance of the oscillator-net as a model for the circadian pacemaker is discussed.

The magnetic structure in coaxial-gun-sustained spheromaks has been investigated. The plasma gun has been operated with a small axial/radial bias magnetic flux as compared to the azimuthal magnetic flux produced by the discharge current. Stronger magnetic field is observed in the entrance region (ER) than in the flux conserver (FC). In both ER and FC, the magnetic structure is nearly axisymmetric. The axial magnetic field in ER is amplified up to about sixteen times as large as the bias magnetic field. This amplification is limited by the drastic change in the magnetic structure, which occurs when the discharge current becomes very large. The magnetic structure before the drastic change is interpreted with the Bessel function model. The μ estimation shows that the magnetic structure is mainly determined by the boundary geometry, not by the external magnetic flux and current.

R0. The persistence length
a becomes
a=11.34(

f is a constant smaller than but close to unity, and

The modulated crystal structures of Rb
2ZnCl
4 are determined by using X-ray reflection data collected by an automatic four-circle diffractometer. In contrast to the disordered structure in the normal phase, the commensurate structure at 146 K is successfully determined by a harmonic vibration model with normal values of the thermal displacement of atoms. The incommensurate structure projected onto the three-dimensional section is determined at 233 K on the basis of the main reflections. The structure thus obtained has large mean-square displacements compared with the values in the other phases. This result is explained by the fact that the thermal displacement of the projection structure includes the contribution from the static modulated distortion of which amount can be evaluated from the temperature change of the mean-square atomic displacement.

The phase diagram of the lattice gas model on a triangular net whose particles correspond to the adatoms in the reconstruction of Si and Ge (111) surfaces is calculated with a fixed particle concentration close to 1/4 by the Monte Carlo simulation with 48×48 lattice. The nearest neighbor pairs of particles are inhibited, while finite repulsive interactions are assumed for more distant pairs. The (2×2) and c(2×4) are the ordered states in the case where the second and third neighbor interactions are taken into account, while the c(2×8) state corresponding to the reconstruction of Ge(111) is obtained by including the sixth neighbor repulsive interaction. The (1×1) disordered state following the (2×2) or c(2×8) ordered state has a domain structure in a temperature range above the transition; particles within a domain keep the (2×2) type ordering. The mechanism underlying this short-range order is discussed.

Interlayer bands are definitely obtained by the present method. The calculated result is compared with recent experiments of angle resolved inverse photoemission and other band calculations.

Tc increases with increasing the Bi concentration of
x, suggesting the increase of electron-phonon interactions, and saturates at around
x∼0.2. The values of 2

Tc in the saturated region coincide with the BCS value.

The effect of Fe-doping on the local structure and valence states of Ba
2Y(Cu
1−xFe
x)
3O
y (
x<0.06,
y=6.9) have been investigated by X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) on the Cu K and Fe K edge. The results show that (1) Fe impurities exist as 3+ ions and (2) take fourfold Cu1 sites in the lightly doped region (
x<0.02); then with further doping, (3) the oxygen coordination number increases as the symmetry changes from orthorhombic to “tetragonal”, and (4) the orthorhombic ab-plane structure is retained on a microscopic scale. These results indicate that the orthorhombic-to-“tetragonal” phase transition is not induced by disordering of oxygen atoms. A possible structural model of the mechanism of doping is presented.

Elementary excitations are studied near the Ising limit close to the degenerate point in the one-dimensional anisotropic Heisenberg antiferromagnets with up to next-nearest-neighbor interactions. Solitons in the Néel and (2,2) antiphase states and triplet-dimer excitations in the dimer state are found as propagating modes. These excitations are found to dominate the shape of the central peak in dynamical spin correlation functions, through the comparison with the numerical results by an exact diagonalization method for finite chains. The temperature dependence of the static correlation function is also discussed, and the shape is found to change gradually with increasing temperature, approaching the zero-temperature correlation function at the degenerate point.

The photoelectron spectra of the Cu
xNi
1−x and Ag
xPd
1−x alloy systems have been measured by means of a resonant photoemission technique to study the alloying effecton the valence band satellite. In the Cu
xNi
1−x alloy system, the resonance intensity, which is defined as the area of the structure of the CIS of the 6 eV satellite normalized by Ni concentration, is found to increase with increasing Cu concentration. However, the difference intensity, which is defined as the difference between on- and off-resonance spectra normalized by Ni concentration, decreases with increasing Cu concentration. It is concluded that a valence electron transfer from the Ni 3
d state to the Cu 4
s state occurs upon alloying. This finding does not agree with the rigid band model, which explains the decrease in magnetic moment in terms of alloying. It is suggested that the “two-hole bound state” in the Ni or Pd atomic site is a resonant state mixed with the neighboring valence hole state in the Cu or Ag atomic site.

Reflection spectra of paratellurite were measured in the photon energy range from 2.0 to 35 eV using linearly polarized light of synchrotron radiation. Optical constants, the number of electrons contributing to the optical transitions and the dielectric loss function were obtained in terms of the Kramers-Kronig transformation for each polarization of the electric vector being parallel or perpendicular to the optical axis. It was shown that there were two major reflection bands, and, from the dielectric loss functions, the plasma resonance was expected to exist at 23 eV. An energy level diagram was presented to explain the observed spectral features, such as polarization characteristics as well as optical transition energies.

By measurements of luminescence and the Urbach tail of indirect absorption, exciton states were investigated in mixed crystals of thallous halides for a wide range of compositions. From the estimation of the steepness coefficients of the Urbach tail in TlCl
xBr
1−x mixed crystals, the relaxed exciton state was found to change from the self-trapped state to the free state at
x=0.7−0.6, consistent with the results of the emission studied before. On the other hand, the indirect excitons in TlBr
xI
1−x (0.3<
x<1) were found, upon analysis of the emission band and the steepness coefficient of the Urbach tail, to relax always to the self-trapped states, which become shallow with increasing iodine concentration. Exciton states in mixed thallous halides are discussed together with a theoretical study on a binary mixed crystal and in relation to percolation of minority-halogen ion clusters.

Emission spectra and decay times of luminescence in KI and RbI containing small amounts of Br
− ions are investigated. The Br
− ions induce a reduction of Ex emission in KI, but an enhancement of it in RbI. The Ex emission in KI seems to be of extrinsic origin. The luminescence center associated with the Ex emission in RbI:Br is deduced to be an STE of RbI perturbed by nearby Br
− ions. The states responsible for the Ex and π emission bands in RbI are discussed in relation to the model of on- and off-center STEs.

The absorption spectra of CsCoCl
3 under high magnetic fields were investigated. Sublattice splittings were observed in an exciton line and its cold and hot sidebands. The magnitude of splitting of the hot band was not equal to that of the cold magnon sideband but was equal to that of the exciton line. Consequently, the hot band was ascribed to the exciton creation at a thermally excited soliton.

Photoreflectance and photoluminescence measurements are carried out to investigate optical properties of (GaAs)
m/(AlAs)
5 superlattices with
m=3, 5, 7, 9 and 11 at room temperature, in order to clarify the cross over of the direct and indirect optical transition. Combining the transition energies determined from the photoreflectance measurements with the photoluminescence data, the superlattices are shown to be indirect for
m<7 and direct for
m>7. Energy band calculations based on the
sp3s* tight-binding method are found to explain these results consistently. The lowest allowed direct transition energy obtained from the tight-binding theory agrees well with the energy gap determined from the photoreflectance measurements, whereas the lowest-lying indirect gap agrees with the photoluminescence peak energy for
m<7.

Thermodynamical quantities and the adsorption energies of H atoms on the metal surface were derived from the present measurements, and the interfacial reaction mechanism of metal-hydrogen system was discussed as functions of the physical adsorption energy of hydrogen and the work function on metal.
