A three-dimensional cell-dynamical-system with planar symmetry is used to study the ordering process following a quench. The configuration of vortex strings is investigated and their total length is found to decrease with time as
t−0.91. It is shown that the form factor obeys dynamical scaling with a characteristic length increasing as
t0.45. The results are consistent with the previous theoretical result.

Liquid metals pressurized to a few megabars and consisting of light nuclear species such as D–H and Li–H can sustain considerable reaction rates due to electron screening and by the strong internuclear screening potentials when the temperature is raised above the onset of fluidity in hydrogen. The nuclear fusion rates may reach a power production level on the order of kW/cm
3 at a temperature and a mass density of 600 K (550 K) and 3.9 g/cm
3 (6.8 g/cm
3) for D–H (Li–H). The detection of such a nuclear reaction at a density near 2–4 g/cm
3 will make a first laboratory demonstration for the reaction processes in supernova.

2−xSr
xCuO
4 is investigated theoretically, based on the electronic structure recently derived by Kamimura and Eto, in which holes are accommodated in the Cu
dz2 upper Hubbard band in the normal state. The calculated temperature and concentration dependences of the Hall coefficient are in good agreement with the experimental results by Takagi
et al. We also show that the cotangent of the Hall angle is proportional to
T2. The temperature dependence of the Hall effect is due to the warped shape of the Fermi surface of the Cu
dz2 upper Hubbard band.

We have calculated the spin correlation length of the half-filled one-dimensional Hubbard model down to the temperature of
T=0.01×(transfer integral) by the Bethe-Ansatz method for the quantum transfer matrix. Its temperature dependence shows the crossover from (2 log π
T)
−1 at high temperatures to
aT−1 with the log corrections at low temperatures, the low-
T behavior being consistent with the prediction by the conformal field theory. When the Coulomb repulsion
U is small, we have found at low temperatures another crossover in the proportional constant
a from the value for the free electron system to that for the antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model. This crossover is due to the disappearance of charge fluctuation. A similar crossover has been observed for the linear coefficient of specific heat,
C⁄

The coexistence curve and the spinodal curve were determined from the turbidity and the angular dependence of the scattered intensity, respectively. These two curves had minima which coincided near the concentration of 0.11 mg/ml and the temperature of 21.5°C. At this point, critical divergences of the forward scattering light intensity and the correlation length were observed.

In particular, finite-size scaling method and Monte Carlo Renormalization Group methods (MCRG) with flow diagrams of the anomalous dimension η show the fixed line structure where the correlation length diverges. Another MCRG with flow diagram of the stiffness constant also shows a critical property clearly. The temperature dependence of the long range order is also discussed in order to locate the lower critical point.

A coupled logistic map is applied to population dynamics of three competing species. Interaction between three species (labeled by X, Y, and Z) is assumed to be intransitive, i.e., X beats Y, Y beats Z, and Z beats X. Phase diagrams are determined for a circumstance in which the species Z interacts weakly with the XY system. It is found that the intransitive interaction results in a variety of bifurcation diagrams of torus attractors and associated hysteresis phenomena.

K-meson
KS as an example.
KS can be described properly as a ππ resonance. This view will be explicitly shown based upon a toy model which allows exact stationary ππ scattering solutions at any fixed energy. All our results can easily be extended to cases of realistic unstable particles. Notably it will be shown that the weak interactions responsible to particle decays are dominating at resonances (decaying particles), where strong interactions play minor roles (and are regarded as small perturbation terms there). In other words, weak interactions exhibit non-perturbative effects at resonance regions.

The liquid-solid I, solid I–II and solid II–III phase transitions at respective pressures 1.86 GPa, 2.84 GPa and 3.5 GPa are presented by the splitting of vibrational modes and the drastic change in Raman band widths. The observed solid I and II phases correspond to plastic (non-cubic) and monoclinic phases, respectively, that also appear at low temperatures and atmospheric pressure. The solid III phase above 3.5 GPa is a new phase. These transition pressures are supported by the good agreement with those obtained by extrapolation (to 300 K) of phase boundaries previously determined at low temperatures.

Surprisingly enough, no one has published the required data. In this paper, the Coulomb-Born type calculations with and without electron-exchange effect are reported. The 1⁄
Z4 scaling law holds fairly well down to smaller
Z values,
Z being the nuclear charge of the hydrogen-like target ion. The dependence on the incident electron energy is represented fairly accurately by an empirical factor in the approximation without electron exchange.

In this work, a complete expression of the elastic free energy of the biaxial smectics is derived within a quadratic expansion in terms of the spatial derivatives of the biaxial tensor order parameter. It is found that there exist 25 non-chiral terms, 5 of which are found to eventually be reduced as surface contributions, and 5 chiral terms in bulk elastic energy. In a uniform helicoidal state with a flat layer structure, the helical pitch is expressed as a function of the molecular tilt angle and the microscopic order parameters related to the uniaxial and biaxial molecular orderings. According to the present result, the temperature dependence of the helical pitch in SmC
* or SmC
A* phase is found to result from an anisotropy of the elastic constants concerned with the molecular orientation and the biaxial molecular ordering.

From the careful analysis of simulation and the experiment, we got a method to discriminate the latter from the former. As a result, we succeeded to identify three peaks due to the crystal field excitation at 2 mV, 4.5 mV and 9 mV.

The effects of confining geometry are investigated on ballistic transport in quasi-one-dimensional quantum wires. The coupled channel type method is used in order to calculate the conductance of the quantum wires as a function of the Fermi energy. It is shown that oscillations existing in the conductance of the wire with a confining potential of ‘step wise’ type geometry disappear as the variation of the confining geometry becomes smooth. In the wire with an extended part irrespective of its geometry, step wise or smooth, the conductance shows dip structures. In the wire with double constrictions, there appear oscillations in the conductance, which can be considered to reflect the existence of resonance and bound states between these two constrictions. The effects of the external magnetic field on ballistic transport are studied in the above-mentioned wires as well.

Looking upon the anomalous light scattering of the magnetic fluid as a kind of critical opalescence and using Debye’s opalescence theory, we derive a thermodynamical instability theory of the colloidal particles’ dispersion. Relations among the instability theory of Cebers, that of Sano and Doi, and ours are discussed. An interaction energy among the colloidal particles is evaluated from the light scattering experiment. Similarities among the macro-cluster formation, spinodal decomposition of precipitation-type magnetic alloys, and flux-line lattice formation in type-II superconductors are discussed.

Universality classes of successive magnetic phase transitions in the triangular lattice antiferromagnet CsMnI
3 are studied by measuring the critical exponents γ and ν using neutron scattering. The critical exponents of the successive transitions at
TN1=11.2 K and
TN2=8.2 K, which correspond to orderings of magnetic moments parallel and perpendicular to the
c-axis, respectively, are determined to be γ
⁄⁄=1.12±0.07, ν
⁄⁄=0.59±0.03 (
TN1) and γ
⊥=1.04±0.03, ν
⊥=0.56±0.02 (
TN2). These values and the β exponents β
⁄⁄=0.32±0.01, β
⊥=0.35±0.01 measured in our previous work do not agree with a theory which predicted the three dimensional XY universality for both the transitions. This is in contrast with the satisfactory agreement of critical exponents of CsMnBr
3 with a theory of the novel three-dimensional Z
2×S
1 universality. A uniform magnetization parallel to the
c-axis in terms of the three sublattices in the
c-plane is found to increase slowly below
TN1.

Neutron depolarization measurements from reentrant spin glass (RSG) alloys of Au
1−xFe
x (
x=0.16 and 0.19) were performed to investigate magnetic properties of
mesoscopic inhomogeneity. The wavelength dependence of the depolarization below RSG temperature,
Tg, suggests that ferromagnetic long range order coexists in the RSG phase, which is consistent with the Gabay-Toulouse model. The present experiment also demonstrates that the averaged spontaneous magnetization over a mesoscopic scale shows unusual decrease with decreasing temperature, which appears well above
Tg.

In order to explain recursive cascades of the field-induced spin density wave phase in organic conductors (TMTSF)
2X discovered recently, a standard model or two-dimensional anisotropic Hubbard model under a perpendicular field is investigated theoretically: The field-induced SDW ground state is in general to be characterized by a set of countable many order parameters (OP) of the Fourier components of the SDW modulation or by a distribution of these OP’s. Due to interference between the lattice commensurability and magnetic length the OP distribution differs for every rational field, resulting in a phase diagram with devil’s staircase like infinite cascades. The band structure and spatial profile of the FISDW are analyzed and compared with ordinary density wave states.

Longitudinal relaxation of
13C and
1H in chloroform dissolved in a nematic liquid crystal has been observed between 25 and 34°C at 89.6 and 400.1 MHz (for
1H) by the selective and nonselective inversion recovery method. The data can be satisfactorily explained by a combination of fast reorientation of the solute and slow fluctuations in the nematic phase, under consideration of the intramolecular dipole-dipole and external random field interactions together with cross correlations between the two. Local structure fluctuations in the nematic phase have played a substantial role in the spin relaxations. The external random field interaction on the proton and the cross correlation relating this interaction have considerably been dependent on the observing frequency.

X-ray scattering from thiourea is investigated by the use of an ordinary X-ray source and synchrotron orbital radiation. Discommensurations in the modulated phases are recognized in diffraction patterns which contain high-order satellites. In the ferroelectric phase, diffusive peaks are observed. This indicates the existence of residual discommensurations as ferroelectric domain walls. The peculiar dielectric anomaly at 161 K of thiourea is discussed in connection with the residual discommensurations.

We have measured luminescence spectra of a biaxial ZnP
2 crystal under high density excitation at 2 K, and found two non-linear bands which are assigned as due to radiative annihilation of the excitonic molecule leaving an exciton. The lower energy band is concluded to be associated with the ground state of the excitonic molecule with symmetry
Γ1+ and the higher energy band with the first excited rotational state with symmetry
Γ1−+2
Γ2−. From the time resolved spectra of these luminescences, it is assumed that a hot excitonic molecule with a large wave vector contributes to the higher energy luminescence. The binding energies of the excitonic molecules in the ground and the rotational states are estimated to be 5.0 meV and 3.6 meV, respectively.

Light-induced phenomena in a-Si
1−xN
x:H films with
x of the range of 0<
x≤0.28 were studied by photoluminescence (PL) and optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) measurements. The experimental results on the spectral dependences of PL and ODMR for various excitation intensities measured before and after prolonged illumination in a-Si
1−xN
x:H films are interpreted in terms of a newly introduced nonradiative center (
E* center) as well as other radiative and nonradiative centers. The energy levels and nature of these centers are discussed. We obtained evidence for the creation of both radiative and nonradiative centers by prolonged illumination, whose creation rate depends on the substrate temperature for preparation, particularly the hydrogen content, as well as the nitrogen content.

Reflection spectra of CdCl
2-CdBr
2 mixed crystals and pure CdI
2 crystal were measured in detail in order to investigate Cd
2+ 4
d core exciton states. The second-energy-derivative reflectance spectra calculated from measured spectra reveal that the core exciton absorption consists of eight fine structures in CdCl
2 and nine fine structures in CdBr
2 and CdI
2. The fine structures in mixed crystals shift continuously with the change in composition, and the correspondence between the fine structures in CdCl
2 and CdBr
2 has been clarified. Peak positions and relative intensities of the fine structures were obtained by a line shape analysis. Based on a one-electron excitation picture, the observed fine structures are explained in terms of spin-orbit splitting of the 4
d core level and crystal field splittings of the 4
d and 5
p levels of the Cd
2+ ion.

Optical spectra of YAlO
3 (YAP) single crystals are measured for 〈
a〉, 〈
b〉 and 〈
c〉⁄⁄
E in the region from 6.5 eV to 42 eV by use of a plane polarized synchrotron radiation,
E being the electric field of light. Anisotropic spectral behaviour of the intrinsic absorption including the tail absorption is found, and a tentative interpretation of spectral features is given in terms of the energy levels of the constituent atoms of YAP. It is found that the principal factor determining the interband absorption onset position is the bond length of Y
3+–O
2− in the compounds of Y
2O
3, YAP and YAG. The steepness constants σ
s0 of these compounds are found to decrease in magnitude with increasing deviation from the mean value of the Y
3+–O
2− bond lengths participated in the tail absorptions.

Piezotransmission spectra near the indirect absorption edge and piezoreflectance spectra in the visible region of group 4B transition metal disulfides ZrS
2 and HfS
2 have been studied by the stress modulation technique at 77 K. The uniaxial stress
X was applied along the
a axis and the spectra were measured using the polarized light,
E⁄⁄
X and
E⊥
X, where
E is the electric field of the incident light. The change of the energy levels by the strain is evaluated by comparing the piezo-modulated spectra with the wavelength-modulated spectra. The main peak and the broad structure at higher energy side in the spectra originate from the overlapping of the transitions at and near
Γ point and the other structures at lower energy side are due to the transitions at
L and
M points.
