The numerical algorithm for computing eigenvalues of a given matrix using the Toda molecule equation, suggested recently by Hirota, Tsujimoto and Imai, is shown to be equivalent to the quotient-difference method. This relation, convergence of the algorithm and extension to a much wider range of matrices are described.

A cellular automaton (CA) model is presented to simulate the traffic jam induced by a traffic accident. The spreading of jamming cars induced by a car crash is investigated by computer simulation. An analogy is proposed between the crystal growth and the traffic-jam spreading. The scaling behavior of the traffic-jam spreading is studied. It is shown that the number
N of jamming cars scales as
N≈
t2.34±0.03 for
p above the dynamical jamming transition
pc=0.35 and
N≈

t is the time and
p is the density of cars. The time constant
ts, which is the time required for all cars to stop, scales as

A microscopic laser equation is solved rigorously. In order to transform the original equation of the density matrix into a more tractable partial differential equation, spin and boson coherent states are used. The resulting equation for the probability density is solved to give a continued fraction with the use of orthogonal polynomials. As a preliminary result, dynamics of certain physical quantities are calculated.

5(1−x)Ta

15 were studied by Raman spectroscopy. The
A1(

A1(
z) modes at 278, 640 cm
−1 and at
x=0.1 show softening below
x=0.7, and then become higher above
x=0.7. It is concluded that the ferroelectric phase becomes a paraelectric one at a concentration between
x=0.6 and 0.7. With regard to the ferroelasticity the
B2(
y) mode at 32 cm
−1, which is coupled to the ferroelasticity, was investigated. When the concentration
x increases the mode at 32 cm
−1 fades and then disappears at a concentration around
x=0.9. This strongly suggests that the ferroelastic phase disappears around the concentration of 0.9.

New observations of the memory effect in the incommensurate phase of quartz have been performed with birefringence measurements. The enhancement and the decay of the memory effect have been measured for various writing times. A linear relationship between the decay time and the writing time has been found, which cannot be explained by the usual diffusion model of the memory effect. We also present the first observation of a memory effect in a light scattering experiment.

One type of Mott transition (MT1) is characterized by diverging enhancement of the charge effective mass when one approaches a Mott insulator from the side of the paramagnetic metal. Another fundamentally different type of Mott transition (MT2) is shown to exist when a spin gap opens. The linear coefficient of the specific heat γ decreases and then vanishes at the transition point of MT2 in sharp contrast with MT1. As an example, a dimerized
t-
J model is shown to undergo MT2. The underlying pairing mechanism determines the character of MT2. Recent controversial experimental results on the Mott transitions in copper oxides and other strongly correlated systems are discussed from the above viewpoint.

T reflecting the logarithmic momentum dependence of the long-range interaction.

y near the optimum composition (
x∼0.16) for superconductivity with a decisive miscibility gap by means of X-ray diffraction measurements. The phase-separated samples do not show intrinsic superconductivity. Therefore, the superconductive compound in this system is not in a chemical equilibrium state at low temperatures, but is a high-temperature phase obtained by quenching to room temperature. The critical temperature of the phase separation
Tp takes a maximum value of 950°C at
x∼0.16, suggesting that phase instability is crucial for high-
Tc superconductors. The end composition of the miscibility gap in the Ba-poor composition region was found to be 0.12, which is a singular point from crystallographic and band structural standpoints.

d photoemission spectra at the Ni 3
p threshold for ferromagnetic Ni from the viewpoint of a many-body configuration interaction, on the basis of the Anderson impurity model including atomic multiplets. The calculated relative spin polarization (majority-spin minus minority-spin divided by their sum) at the 6-eV satellite is shown to exhibit a dip structure with a minimum of ∼20% and a maximum of ∼35% separated by 7∼8 eV near on-resonance as a function of incident photon energy, which is consistent with the results of recent experiment. Its structure is, contrary to previous discussions, shown to be caused not only by the Fano interference effect but also by the 3
p-3
d exchange and 3
p spin-orbit interaction in the intermediate state of the second-order resonant process. The spin polarization in the main peak and in the various positions of satellites is also discussed.

A two-dimensional anharmonic lattice which has a line discontinuity in the mass distribution is considered. We study scattering of the nonlinear waves due to the mass interface. In the continuum approximation, the incident, reflected and transmitted waves are shown to obey three independent KP equations. By solving the KP equations for sech
2-type intial values, we investigate effects of the discontinuous interface on the developement of the incident line soliton. It is shown that the transmitted line soliton breaks up while the reflected soliton does not. The reflection angle is different from the incident angle due to the nonlinearity. These are considered as features of nolinear refraction and reflection phenomena. Our approach is applicable to other two-dimensional nonlinear systems such as shallow water and ion acoustic wave.

We investigate the temporal development of the statistical properties of two-dimensional incompressible turbulence simulated for a long time. First, we obtain information on the evolving microscopic vortical structure by inspecting the time variation of
qth order fractal dimensions of the enstrophy dissipation rate. The conclusion drawn from such an inspection is consistent with a picture given by Kida (J. Phys. Soc. Jpn.
54 (1985) 2840); in the first stage the ∇×ω field grows up in the most advantageous spots of the initial configuration, leading to the very intermittent state, and the energy spectrum is near
k−4. Then the turbulence enters the less intermittent stage with the spectrum
k−3. Second, we measure the probability density functions (PDF) of the vorticity, its increment over a distance and the enstrophy dissipation rate. The PDFs of the vorticity increment over a small separation and the enstrophy dissipation rate are found to be quite similar to those of the velocity increment and the energy dissipation rate in three dimensions.

A study is made on the diffusion of particles in the thermal convection in a horizontal fluid layer, which is slightly above the critical Rayleigh number. In our experiment, in which almost periodic array of hexagonal cells is generated, a star-shaped spreading of neutrally buoyant particles is observed. Numerical simulation is performed, by taking a spatially periodic regular array of steady laminar hexagonal Rayleigh-Bénard cells as a basic flow, into which particular types of small disturbances are applied. Horizontal distribution of advected particles, particle paths and effective transport coefficient are investigated for various amplitudes, directions and frequencies of the perturbation. The characteristic pattern of impurity is reproduced in laminar hexagonal-cell-like flow with zero mean velocity, with enhanced effective transport coefficient which is proportional to the perturbation amplitude and which becomes maximum at some resonant frequency.

Fundamentals of the ECR (electron cyclotron resonance) multiply charged ion source have been experimentally studied with a tandem-type mirror field configuration using low-frequency microwaves (2.45 GHz). By differential pumping, it is possible to sustain discharge in extremely low gas pressures, where multicharged ions can be efficiently produced. A model is proposed to enable investigation of charge-state distribution of argon ions in a plasma and extracted ion currents. The model includes processes of cumulative ionization, recombination, and charge exchange with neutral particles. Ion confinement times depending on the charge state are also included in the consideration of atomic collision and ion diffusion in the direction along the magnetic field (
z-axis). The calculations, which take account of charge exchange with neutral particles, are consistent with experimental results. Critical comparison between the data and these calculations suggests that high-temperature electrons are essentially important for multicharged ion production.

The results were as follows: (I) Dispersion relations and attenuation coefficient for surface wave are obtained in terms of electron relaxation time and electron density in metal, (II) EM propagating modes in the dielectric layer are modified by electron density in metal, (III) Several characteristics of the propagations are also obtained qualitatively, especially on mode conversion between surface wave (SW) and the TM

xTe (

Tc increases by 14 K by the application of magnetic fields of 90 T parallel to the [111] direction in p-type samples whose
Tc at 0 T is 34 K. Similar dependence has been observed in n-type samples. These results not only provide a support to the previous work by Takaoka and Murase in the low field range below 7 T but also show that the magnetic field effect on the phase transition is even enhanced in the ultra-high magnetic field range without any saturation. We have estimated the critical field of the possible structural phase transition induced by magnetic fields in PbTe.

ch⁄

Cyclotron resonance of the 2-Dimensional Electron System in GaAs/Ga
0.66Al
0.34As heterojunctions has been studied in very high (∼90 T) magnetic fields. The resonance is found to split into two components due to the energy dependence of the electron
g-factor. The exact magnitude of the splitting is slightly smaller than observed in bulk GaAs, but is found to be carrier concentration dependent. The intensity of the two different transitions is also found to be carrier concentration dependent, despite the fact that the electron g-factor of the Lowest Landau state is close to zero. This behaviour is interpreted as due to collective electron effects similar to results observed at lower densities and lower temperatures in lower magnetic fields.

We have studied energy spectra of a two-dimensional electron system in the presence of a weak magnetic field modulation. It is found that the magnetoresistance shows an oscillatory behavior similar to the so-called Weiss oscillation for the case of an electric potential modulation. The main difference between the two cases is that the phase of the magnetoresistance oscillation is shifted by π⁄2. This results in an inverted peak and valley structure for the magnetic field modulation as compared to the Weiss oscillation. We have also attempted to measure the predicted effect. So far the experimental observation is hindered by the dominant strain-induced Weiss oscillation.

M≤11. Furthermore, in the Ising model with up to the next nearest neighbor interactions on the helical lattice, χ
0 and
C are calculated for the system of
M≤9. The results obtained are an excellent approximation to the exact χ
0 and
C of the two-dimensional systems.

Spin-fermion model on the CuO
2 lattice of the copper oxide high temperature superconductors with inter-CuO
2-plane interaction is studied in a perturbation theory with respect to the spin-fermion coupling. Spin waves in a short-range order are phenomenologically assumed, and modification of the spin waves by hole doping which makes the spin correlation functions satisfy the sum rule is taken into account. Antiferromagnetic (AF) phase boundary is obtained on the temperature and hole concentration plane for various strength of the inter-CuO
2-plane interaction. AF spin correlation length is also calculated. Relation between the results and experimental results of the copper oxides is discussed.

The roles of geometrical spin frustration in magnetic and thermodynamic properties of YMn
2 and Y(Sc)Mn
2 are studied. It is shown that the ground state of Y(Sc)Mn
2, which exhibits heavy fermion like behavior, may be regarded as a quantum spin liquid realized through the frustration. To confirm this idea, magnetic, thermal and electrical properties of the Y
0.95Sc
0.05 (Mn

x)
2 pseudobinary system have been studied. The substitution of Al for Mn causes a spin liquid to spin glass transition as a result of partial raise of spin configurational degeneracy.

Specific heat and high field magnetization were measured for Ce(Fe
1−xCo
x)
2, which shows a double magnetic transition in the concentration range of 0.04<
x<0.3. The compounds with 0≤
x≤0.3 show a specific heat anomaly due to the ferromagnetic to paramagnetic transition at
Tc. Magnetic entropy of CeFe
2 was evaluated as 2.5 J/K mol, which is much lower than that expected from a localized moment model. Besides anomaly at
Tc, another specific heat anomaly due to the antiferromagnetic (AF) to ferromagnetic (F) transition was observed for
x=0.1 and 0.2. It is shown that the entropy change associated with the AF-F transition is mainly described by a difference in the electronic specific heat between the F and AF states. The AF-F transition of Ce(Fe
1−xCo
x)
2 is discussed from the thermodynamical point of view.

Temperature dependence of the correlation length of the one-dimensional
S=2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet is investigated numerically, to compare with those of the
S=1⁄2, 1, 3/2 models. The correlation length of the
S=2 model is found to be saturated to a value ξ
−1\simeq0.012(2) as
T→0, which confirms the Haldane conjecture. Combined with the estimate ξ
−1\simeq0.16 of the
S=1 model by other authors, the present estimate is well explained by ξ
−1∼
S exp (−π

Ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) studies have been carried out on thin films of MnCo
xSb system at room temperature (RT). Exchange coupling constant (A) and
g-values have been evaluated from the observed spectra. They are found to decrease with increase of Co concentration. The strain anisotropy field changes its sign at a concentration of
x=0.18 indicating the spin reorientation occurring in the system. The anisotropy fields calculated from the FMR in powder recorded at X-band and Q-band frequencies also confirm the occurrence of spin reorientation.

Internal field distributions at Fe and Sn sites in Au(Fe):Sn and Au(CrFe):Sn spin glass systems were evaluated from the Mössbauer spectra in the same method as for Au(Fe) and Au(CrFe) systems. The distributions at both sites agree with each other. Therefore, the previous method of evaluating the internal field distributions as performed for the Au(Fe) spin glass and the related systems is justified.

The dielectric response of valence fluctuation compound Sm
3Se
4 has been measured in the frequency range from 20 Hz up to 1 GHz. The resultant response of Sm
3Se
4 is described by a superposition of two independent dispersions with the Cole-Cole type, which are given by the valence fluctuating state in Sm
3Se
4 crystal with vacancies. The phase angle θ=90° for the admittance of Sm
3Se
4 at low temperatures leads the absence of free carrier like in an ideal capacitor. Similar behavior on Sm
2Se
3 is also presented.

The spectra of optical constants of α-Al
2O
3 single crystals at 297 K and 10 K are presented over the range of photon energies from 6 eV to 120 eV for the electric fields of incident light parallel to optic axis 〈
c〉 and normal to it. The optical constants include the complex index of refraction, conductivity, complex dielectric constant, loss functions and effective number of electrons per unit cell. The spectra in
E\lesssim78 eV are interpreted in terms of the interband transitions from the O 2p and 2s bands to the Al conduction bands and the free electron-like absorption of photons by the O 2p band electrons. The volume energy loss function has a prominent peak at
E∼26.4 eV for the plasma oscillation dominantly of the 2p electrons. The spectral features in
E\gtrsim78 eV resulting from electronic transitions from the Al L
2,3 levels are presented with the L
2,3 exciton doublet,
e.g., at 78.72 eV and 79.15 eV for ε
2⁄⁄.

The reflectivity spectrum of Y
3Al
5O
12 (YAG) single crystals at 297 K is presented in the region of 6.734 eV≤
E≤116 eV. The spectra of optical constants derived from the reflectivity by the Kramers-Kronig analysis are tentatively interpreted in terms of the energy levels of the constituent atoms of YAG. Plasma resonance peaks are found at 23.3
8 eV and 36.2
0 eV in which the valence-band electrons and valence- as well as full-band electrons participate, respectively. The structure of absorption due to excitations of the electrons in the Al
3+ L
2,3 levels is found in the region of
E\gtrsim76 eV. The free electron-like absorption calculated by the Drude formula by use of the line shape parameters of the plasma resonance line is compared with the dielectric constant in the region of
E\gtrsim24 eV. The effective optical dielectric constant calculated from the optical constant ε
2 is found to be in good agreement at 116 eV with the optical dielectric constant derived from the dispersion formula.
