    Several lattice models of nonlinear excitation transfer in a d-dimensional version of the simple cubic lattice are prcsented to show the existence of exact moving d-dimensional nonlinear localized mode solutions. The eigenfrequencies of the localized modes appear either below or above the linear exciton frequency band. Profile functions of the four types of localized modes considered here are described by the sech-function, the square of the sech-function, the cosech-function and the square of the cosech-function, of which the first and the third are identified as envelope solitons in the d-dimensional lattice.

    An unsteady effect of the diffusion on diffusion-limited aggregation (DLA) is studied using the multiparticle DLA model on the deposition plate in two dimensions (strip geometry). The multiparticle model can take into account the propagation of diffusing particles from the upper boundary toward the deposition plate. The initial value problem of the unsteady diffusion equation is simulated by the multiparticle DLA model. The morphological evolution is investigated by means of computer simulations. With increasing concentration, the morphology of the deposit becomes different from that grown in a steady state. In the dilute limit, the structure of the deposit agrees with that of the steady state.

    We present an exactly solvable quantum SU(M) (M: arbitrary integer ≥2) spin chain with long-range (∼inverse-square) interactions. The model generalizes the so-called Haldane-Shastry system which corresponds to M=2. We find the Lax pair for the system which guarantees the integrability of the system. An exact many-body ground-state wave function with particular symmetry is explicitly constructed.

    We study structural and statistical properties of a self-avoiding version of fractional Brownian motion (fBm) trajectories in two dimensions. The self-similarity of fBm trajectories is confirmed and their fractal dimensions D are obtained. Closed loops of the fBm trajectories (self-avoiding fBm) are generated, and the relationship between their fractal dimensions DSA and the Hurst exponent H characterizing fBm curves is obtained. It is found that the size distribution of the loops of fBm obeys a power law with the exponent f. The dependence of f on H is determined numerically.

    In order to determine electromagnetic (EM) eigenmodes for radio-frequency (RF) plasma productions between a pair of large-area electrodes, normal EM modes propagating in a region between a planar waveguide with one plasma and two dielectric layers are analyzed. Exact solutions are obtained by solving Maxwell’s equations. It is concluded that plasmas higher than a critical value of electron plasma frequency will be produced by an odd surface wave SWo and less than the critical value, by two transverse-magnetic (TM) odd EM modes, TM01 and TM10.

    The electrostatic sheath and the heat flow of a two-electron-temperature plasma in the presence of electron emission are investigated analytically. It is shown that the energy flux is markedly enhanced to a value near the electron free-flow energy flux as a result of considerable reduction of the sheath potential due to electron emission if the fraction of hot electrons at the sheath edge is much smaller than one. If the hot- to cold-electron temperature ratio is of the order of ten and the hot electron density is comparable to the cold electron density, the action of the sheath as a thermal insulator is improved as a result of suppression of electron emission due to the space-charge effect of hot electrons.

    A growth model governed by the Poisson equation is presented to simulate the aggregation process in sputter (or vapor)-deposited thin films. By using computer simulation, it is found that the fractal dimension of the aggregates is consistent with that of diffusion-limited aggregation (DLA) at an initial stage and increases with time. The multifractal structure of the growth probability distribution is derived by making use of the Monte Carlo estimation. It is shown that the Poissonian growth pattern has characteristic fractal and multifractal properties.

    For those high-Tc Cu-oxides whose crystalline unit is composed of a metal (Mc) sheet sandwiched by two pyramidal CuO2 planes, a phonon-mediated superconductivity model is proposed in which a phonon having a change in the coordination number of a vibrating ion induces a charge-density wave in the CuO2 plane. The electron-phonon coupling constant in this mechanism is estimated and is shown to resonably reproduce the observed dln Tc⁄d ln r value given earlier (J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. 60 (1991) 3194) on the basis of the Eliashberg theory, where r denotes the Mc–O bond length.

    Neutron diffraction studies reveal the presence of two incommensurate magnetic phases (IC1 and IC2) between the paramagnetic and antiferromagnetic (AF) phases of the rare-earth compound NdIn3, in a narrow temperature range just below TN=6 K, where the collinear magnetic moments parallel to the tetragonal c axis are rectangularly modulated along the c axis. With decreasing temperature, the modulation wave number changes discontinuously from ∼0.04c* in the IC1 phase through ∼0.016c* in the IC2 phase to 0c* in the AF phase.

    In (La1−xBax)2CuO4, the Cu-NQR spectra for x=0.0625 and x=0.08 were observed in each phase of the crystal structure. The temperature dependence of the spin echo decay rate, T2−1, was also measured from 1.5 K to 300 K for both samples. The two well-separated sets of NQR spectra were observed in the high-temperature tetragonal (HTT) and low-temperature orthorhombic (LTO) phases in both samples. The spectrum at 1.5 K in the low-temperature tetragonal (LTT) phase for x=0.0625 is abnormally broadened compared to the spectra in the HTT and LTO phases, and T2−1 shows strong divergence at about 35 K. These two abnormal static and dynamical results indicate that the electronic state of the Cu atom changes from a nonmagnetic to magnetic one in the LTO→LTT transition, and some magnetic phase transition occurs at about 35 K which is lower than the LTT transition temperature, 60 K.

We observed six ESR lines in this sample, four of which are the same as those observed in NENP doped with the nonmagnetic atoms by Glarum et al. The temperature dependence of the intensity of the ESR signal is compared with the recent theory presented by Mitra et al.

    One-dimensional complex Ginzburg-Landau equation is examined numerically. Three types of turbulent states are observed as dissipative effects decrease. The first state is a weak chaos driven by modulational instability. The second one is a turbulent state characterized by the occurrence of relatively small bursts. The last one is a strongly intermittent turbulence dominated by bursts which blow up, getting close to a singular solution of the 1D nonlinear Schrödinger equation, till dissipation starts to work.

    Monte Carlo simulations are performed on the square lattice Ising system with both the nearest neighbor and the two-dimensional dipolar interactions in order to investigate the critical property of ferromagnetic phase transitions in this 2-dimensional system. Applying the finite size scaling theory to Monte Carlo data just near the transition point, the critical indices of this dipolar system are calculated and α=0.31±0.04, β=0.20±0.02, γ=1.08±0.20 and ν=0.72±0.10 are obtained. However, in the temperature region considerably far from the transition point, different values of α, β and γ seem to be adequate, which are rather close to those of the rigorous result of the 2-dimensional Ising model.

The behaviour of the bl for the case of attractive interaction is studied, and on the basis of the results, the phase transition (condensation) of this lattice gas is discussed by employing Ikeda’s theory of condensation of systems with volume-dependent cluster integrals.

    The exact expressions for the volume-dependent irreducible cluster sums βk with k≤7 for the one-dimensional, the two-dimensional square and the three-dimensional simple cubic lattice gas and with k≤4 for the two-dimensional triangular lattice gas, with nearest-neighbour interactions, are obtained. Graphs expressing the volume dependence of βk⁄βk(0) in the case of attractive interaction are described, where βk(0) is the limit of βk for infinite volume. By the use of these results, the phase transition (condensation) of the lattice gases are discussed.

    With the aid of the enumeration method, a rigorous solution which involves ring formation is derived for a particular branching model ARBf−1. The solution provides an unexpected result of ring size distribution: The system yields less abundance of rings than a linear system. The bigger the ring size and the larger the functionality, the lesser the yields. In a concentrated solution, however, the concentrations of smaller x-sized rings can approximately be expressed as [Rx]=(kRxkLDAxx, where kRx denotes the cyclization rate constant of an x-sized chain, kL an interconnection rate constant and DA the extent of reaction of A functional units, respectively.
    The result is closely related to the shape of clusters (Lx) which still possesses the classical form under strong ring formation. However, the numerical solution shows that the classical Flory formula of size distribution does not work in general.

    We have theoretically analysed the optical bistability due to the excitation of surface plasmon polaritons (SP’s) in samples, prism/metal film/nonlinear optic medium and prism/gap material/metal film/non-linear optic medium, where the non-linear optic medium has an intensity-dependent refractive index. We considered two cases, i.e. non-linearity along the propagation direction of SP’s and along the normal to the interface. In the former case, the critical input power for the optical bistability was too high to allow experimental observation, while it was reasonably low for the latter case.

    In this work, let us investigate anchoring effects on the layer structure in compressible smectic phases. The layer anchoring force is taken into account in an analysis of the chevron layer structure in the smectic phase. Our numerical results show that the anchoring strength comparable to (elastic coefficient)/(penetration length) is enough to orient the molecules at the boundary to such a preferred direction as the SiO columns evaporated on the bounding plates. In a weak anchoring limit, the present result is reduced to the previous one corresponding to the chevron layer structure. In a strong anchoring limit with a small pretilt angle at the boundaries, however, a quasi bookshelf layer structure is found to be realised.

    The characteristics of the waves in the ion-cyclotron range of frequency (ICRF) in a bumpy torus having a strong non-uniform magnetic field both in the toroidal and the radial directions are investigated experimentally. Several effects of the strong non-uniformity on propagation, damping and radial profile of the ion cyclotron wave are observed; the split of the dispersion curves for m=0, ±1 modes, the wave damping depending on the modes m and on the frequency even below the cyclotron frequency and the peaking of the poloidal component of the wave field slightly inside the cyclotron resonance layer. These strong non-uniform characteristics are compared with the two-dimensional wave field calculation using the finite-element method.

    The phase transition from the paraelectric phase (α phase) to the ferroelectric one of monoclinic K2ZnBr4 at about 159 K is investigated by means of X-ray diffraction. The space groups of the para- and ferroelectric phases are confirmed to be P21m and P21, respectively. The crystal structures of both phases are also determined at 296 and 123 K, respectively. In the paraelectric phase, the displacive and the disordered models are examined: The significance test shows that ZnBr4 tetrahedron is in disorder. In the ferroelectric phase, ZnBr4 tetrahedron is ordered and two independent potassium ions are translated in a same direction along the b-axis.

    The structure of liquid Bi–Ga alloys has been examined by neutron scattering measurements. The structure factors of this system have been obtained along the liquidus curve and also at higher temperatures above the critical temperature where the miscibility gap closes. A remarkable change in the structure factor has been observed at around 70 at.%Ga, which composition corresponds to the maximum temperature in the curve where miscibility gap closes. This concentration variation of the observed structure factors has been discussed in view point of the thermodynamic properties.

    The crystal structure of [N(CH3)4]2CdBr4 was studied at 21°C in the room temperature phase and at −3, −8, −35, −80 and −115°C in the low temperature phase by single crystal diffractometry. In the room temperature phase, CdBr4 ion and two kinds of N(CH3)4 ions were determined to be in disorder from Fourier synthesis and the significance test. In the low temperature phase, the occupation probabilities of ions as well as positional and thermal parameters were determined. The structure is characterized by two kinds of chains composed of CdBr4 and N(CH3)4; one is along [001] and the other is along [100]. The deviation Δβ of monoclinic angle β from 90° shows the characteristic temperature dependence as reported in [N(CH3)4]2ZnBr4 and [N(CH3)4]2CoBr4; Δβ increases rapidly just below the transition temperature then decreases almost linearly as temperature decreases and changes its sign at about −72°C.

    The value of the critical exponent ν of the two-dimensional ±J Ising model along the ferromagnetic-nonferromagnetic phase boundary in the p-T plane (p is the concentration of +J bonds; T is the temperature) has been calculated by the use of the transfer matrix method and the Roomany-Wyld approximation for long strips with finite width (L×105: L≤18), and has been found to take almost constant value, 1.0, at temperature above the Nishimori line. By the same method, a lower bound of the critical concentration between paramagnetic phase and the random antiphase state (RAS phase) has been calculated at some temperature below the Nishimori line in the p-T plane.

    The Hubbard model is studied for the Mott-transition region in the limit of high dimension d→+∞. Leading-order effects with respect to 1⁄d are local spin fluctuations, all of which are fully included in the single-site approximation (SSA). Because the SSA is reduced to solving the Anderson model, it is argued that a normal heavy-electron liquid forms through the Kondo effect. The Fermi-liquid relations are proven within the SSA. The other leading-order effects are mean fields of magnetism caused by exchange interaction. Therefore it depends on the competition between the Kondo effect and the exchange interaction which the ground state is, magnetic or paramagnetic. However, any other effect is a higher-order effect. The 1⁄d expansion from the heavy-electron liquid in the SSA is one of the most useful methods in examining lower-temperature phases in the real dimension.

    We have measured the magnetoresistance and de Haas-van Alphen (dHvA) effect in both the antiferromagnetic and paramagnetic states of NdIn3. Many dHvA branches are detected in the dHvA experiments. Among them, a nearly spherical Fermi surface in the paramagnetic state, which corresponds to a band 7-electron Fermi surface of the non-4f reference compound LaIn3, is changed in the antiferromagnetic state into a multiply connected Fermi surface with necks. The cyclotron masses of NdIn3 are in the range of 0.30m0 to 1.05m0, which are twice as large as those of LaIn3.

    We investigate the ground state properties of the one- and the two-dimensional Hubbard models using a new variational Monte Carlo method. By generalizing the Gutzwiller variational wave function (GF) to take into account an off-diagonal intersite correlation, we examine the metal-insulator transition mechanism at the half filling. As Kaplan et al. first pointed out, the binding mechanism between doubly occupied sites and empty sites plays a crucial role for this transition; we confirm this by examining the real space correlation function between these two kinds of sites. Results for the spin and the charge structure factors are presented as well as the momentum distribution function and are discussed in connection with the pairing effect. We also find that in less-than half filling, the improvements of the structure factors at 2kF are realized as compared with GF results.

    Energy spectrum of electrons on three-dimensional lattice (two-dimensional lattices coupled with interlayer hoppings) in the magnetic field along the (1, 1, 1) direction is investigated. The two-dimensional Hofstadter’s gaps become small as the electron hoppings between layers are increased. It is found that the critical value of the interlayer hoppings at which the largest gap is zero is close to the value of hoppings in the layer except for the small q, where q is the denominator of the flux through each unit square, φ=pq. This means that a finite gap is opened by a small anisotropy in the simple cubic lattice. The effects of the next-nearest-neighbor and third-nearest-neighbor (diagonal) hoppings are also investigated.

    The electron density distribution and the electron-ion correlation functions in liquid sodium are calculated within the linear screening approximation based on the pseudopotential perturbation theory. The ionic configuration of the liquid is obtained by the molecular dynamics simulation method. The calculated electron-ion structure functions are compared with recent experimental results.

    The Kα emission and Kβ emission spectra in fluorescence of Cl in NH4Cl are measured with a two-crystal vacuum spectrometer. The Cl Kβ emission spectrum is presented along with the Cl K absorption, Cl L2,3 absorption and vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) absorption spectra of NH4Cl, reported previously. By using the measured emission spectra and the VUV absorption spectrum, the energy position of the bottom of the conduction band is shown in the Cl K absorption and Cl L2,3 absorption spectra. The first sharp peak of the Cl L2,3 absorption is identified as being due to a core exciton, the energy level of which is formed below the bottom of the conduction band. The binding energy of the exciton is estimated to be 1.1(±0.1) eV. The second sharp peak is related to two types of excitons; a stable exciton and a metastable exciton.

    The quantum Hall effect is studied in terms of the random matrix model, which has been recently proposed and proved to be quite powerful in investigating the electronic structures in strong magnetic fields. The effective potential felt by electrons in the lowest Landau subband is reconstructed from the random matrix elements. This reconstruction shows that even if we assume short-ranged potentials in making the random matrix, the effective potential has a finite correlation length of the order of the magnetic length. The equilibrium current is confirmed to flow along the equipotential lines of this effective potential. The Hall conductivity and the distribution of the Hall current are calculated within the random matrix model. The results are consistent with previous ones obtained by standard method, i.e. by directly defining the random potential.

    Simple conductance formula for small systems with a single superconducting segment is derived through the linear response theory. It is an extension of the Landauer formula. The expression consists of the usual transmission and reflection coefficients as well as the off-diagonal elements which are given by the processes where an electron is reflected to a hole due to the Andreev reflection.

    Quantum transport experiments of Si-MOS inversion layers have been done at temperatures between 50 mK and 1.45 K and in magnetic fields between 14 and 23 T using samples having two grades of electron mobility. The Hall conductivity were analyzed employing a model calculation to derive the temperature dependence and the magnetic field dependence of the mobility edge. At low temperatures, the mobility edge was independent of temperature and independent of magnetic field suggesting the mobility edge is dominated by a macroscopic potential fluctuations. The temperature dependence of the mobility edge at high temperatures can not be explained by the existing theory of localization in Landau subbands in two dimensional systems and that of the temperature dependence of the inelastic scattering in the zero magnetic field.

    In contrast with monotonous increase expected on the basis of virtual crystal approximation, anomalous reduction of electron-LO phonon interaction has been observed in cyclotron resonance experiments on the photoexcited electrons in the AgClxBr1−x (0<x≤0.21) mixed crystals at T=4.2 K and f=35 GHz with increasing x. For the first time, we have experimentally determined the values of Fröhlich coupling constant α in mixed crystals. Because there exist two LO-phonon modes in the AgBr-rich region, the reduction of electron-LO phonon interaction can not be explained by the virtual crystal approximation where disorders are simply averaged, and invokes the need of further theoretical studies.

    A new proton-conducting polymer electrolyte polyethylene oxide (PEO)+(NH4)2SO4 has been reported. The proton transport in solution-cast films of PEO complexed with (NH4)2SO4 has been established using optical microscopy, XRD, DTA, IR, coulometry, transient ionic current and electrical conductivity studies. The highest electrical conductivity has been found to be 9.3×10−7 S·cm−1 for the NH4+/EO ratio equal to 0.0416. The transference number and mobility of protonic movement have been found to be tH+\simeq0.61 and μH+\simeq2.9×10−7 cm2/volt-sec, respectively. The movement of anions (possibly HSO4) also contribute to the overall conductivity.

    Magnetic field and Fermi energy dependences of conductance in a quantum wire with a small ring geometry are calculated numerically with the use of the coupled channel method. As a function of the Fermi energy or magnetic field, the conductance shows various pattern behaviours, of which the origin is discussed on the basis of the numerical results. The conductance shows oscillations as a function of magnetic flux passing through the effective area enclosed by the ring part. A value of the oscillation period as a function of the magnetic flux is given by Φ0=he approximately if the effective area enclosed by the ring part is estimated as an area enclosed by the potential energy minimum curve.

    By using the DV–Xα–LCAO method, electronic states are calculated for Co12V, Co13 and Co12MH2 (M=V, Cr, Mn, Fe and Co) clusters. The gross feature of electronic states of the icosahedral Co12V cluster is similar to that of the icosahedral Co13 cluster. The Co12VH2 and Co13H2 clusters are different from each other in the electronic structure of the levels which contain much 1s atomic orbital of H atom. The 1s orbital of H atom interacts weakly with the 3d orbital of the exterior Co atoms and makes a non-bonding orbital in the Co12VH2 cluster, but it interacts strongly and makes a bonding orbital in the Co13H2 cluster. These facts explain the experimental results that H molecules are hardly adsorbed to a Co12V cluster, but easily adsorbed to a Co13 cluster. The electronic structure of the Co12MH2 clusters gradually changes as the sort of the center atom M varies from V to Co atoms in the 3d transition-metal series.

    The multiple phase transition behavior of unconventional superconductivity confined in a thin film is investigated considering the example of a two component superconducting order parameter. First the series of possible superconducting phase transitions are discussed on the basis of a group theoretical analysis. Then the corresponding Ginzburg-Landau theory is used to derive the conditions for the occurrence of at least double transitions. Finally, the specific heat and the magnetic susceptibility are analized as possible quantities to detect multiple phase transitions. The latter also provides a method to distinguish between time-reversal conserving and time-reversal breaking phase transitions.

    Magnetic susceptibility of YBa2Cu3−xCoxOy (x=0.06∼0.3 with tetragonal structure) has been studied, being focused on the successive antiferromagnetic transitions, TN2 and TN3, where the susceptibility(χ)-versus-temperature(T) curve has kinks. The TN2, ranging between 18 K and 90 K, was nearly proportional to x, but little dependent on y. The TN3, near 6 K, was almost independent both on x and y. The transitions were analyzed based on a molecular field approximation, as secondary antiferromagnetic transitions accompanying a magnetic order of Co ions in the chain site. The characteristics of these transitions have been well explained with parameters of J0=1400 K, |J1|≅160 K, J2+8D=(180±60) K, and J4=(80±40) K; where the parameters are exchange interactions between Cu2+ spins (J0, J2), between Cu2+ and Co3+ spins (J1), between Co3+ spins (J4) and a crystalline magnetic anisotropy (D). The good fitting of the model suggests that these magnetic orders are inherent in the YBa2Cu3Oy structure.

    The ordering process in the Ising-like Heisenberg antiferromagnet on the hexagonal lattice has been studied through the 133Cs NMR in CsNiBr3. The observed local field at 133Cs was 3.5 times as large as the calculated field from the point dipoles at the Ni2+ sites. The limited applicability of the conventional point dipole model has been overcome by treating the symmetry property at the 133Cs site. Under the applied field of 4.6 T, we have found that the Ni2+ spin component parallel to the c-axis orders below TN1=15.0 K, whereas the perpendicular component orders below TN2=12.5 K to form the triangular three-sublattices in the c-plane: one spin is parallel to the c-axis and the other two are canted ±38° from the c-axis. The comparison is made with the existing data of CsNiCl3 with an emphasis on the dynamical behavior of the triangular spin arrangement.

    Heat capacity measurements of the quasi one-dimensional S=1 antiferromagnet Ni(C2H8N2)2NO2(ClO4) are performed in static magnetic fields up to 13 T. Applying a magnetic field, a broad anomaly appears below 5 K, which reflects the gap energy between the nonmagnetic ground state singlet and the excited states. The field-dependence of the energy gap estimated from the measured heat capacities gives the critical field values close to those obtained in high-field-magnetization measurements and non-zero gap remaining at the critical field. Within our experimental range of temperature and magnetic field, we have not observed any sharp peaks corresponding to the expected three dimensional magnetic long range ordering.
