    A stochastic cellular automaton (CA) model is presented to study traffic flow in cities. In order to avoid traffic jam, cars are allowed to turn with probability pturn when cars are blocked ahead by other cars. It is found that the jam-avoiding turn has an important effect on traffic jam. With increasing car density, jamming transitions occur from a maximal velocity phase, through a homogeneously moving phase, to a jamming phase, with a critical point. Above the critical point, the jamming transition does not appear. It is shown that allowing cars to turn results in a complex phase diagram.

    We observed the relaxation behavior of the X-ray diffraction intensity arising from the glassy phase transition in C60 single crystals for the first time. The (7 10 0) reflection which appeared below about 160, K showed an anomalous cusp-type feature near 90, K. It was found that this behavior strongly depended on the cooling rate of the specimen. Intensity relaxation of the reflection at 80, K at a cooling rate of 66, mK/s followed the single exponential law, I(t)∝ I0(1-exp, (-t/τ )) with a relaxation time constant τ of 1.8× 104 seconds. These results strongly support those previously reported.

    The Brillouin scattering spectra of K2ZnBr4 have been observed near the first-order α-β transition point as a function of temperature.After the transition, the spectra of high-temperature β phase take different values of the frequency shift in each experimental run in contrast to the good reproducibility in low-temperature α phase.A large thermal hysteresis due to the first-order transition was observed in the temperature dependence of the Brilliouin frequency shift.The result seems to be explained well by the virtual intermediate states model recently proposed for the α-β transition mechanism.

    We study the kinetics of nucleating droplets in metastable helium at ultralow temperatures. Our theory takes into account intense acoustic or electric field. The quantum nucleation rate can be greatly enhanced by the field when its frequency ω is higher than the inverse of tunnelling time τs. In particular, we present a new formula for the quantum nucleation rate in the limit ω τs>> 1.

    We investigated the one-dimensional extended Hubbard model with the on-site interaction U and the nearest-neighbor interaction V by using the numerical diagonalization method. Assuming the Luttinger liquid relations, we obtained the phase diagram of the ground state on the U-V plane. In the weak coupling region, the phase diagram agrees with the result of g-ology. On the other hand, in the strong coupling region for V >> | t|, a novel superconducting phase appears both for positive and negative U. We also investigated the charge gap and the spin gap. The results suggest that the superconducting phase extends over the Tomonaga-Luttinger region (without spin gap) and the Luther-Emery region (with spin gap).

    Low-temperature transport measurements on a polycrystalline silicon thin-film transistor have been made in order to clarify the role of bandtail states in the grain boundaries. We find a Mott variable-range hopping (VRH) law of the resistance in the barely insulating regime of the metal-insulator transition. At lower temperatures, the resistance crosses over to Efros-Shklovskii VRH with the opening of a soft Coulomb gap. The magnetoresistance (MR) is negative, and its features are qualitatively explained by existing theories of quantum interference effects in VRH. Furthermore, the Hall coefficient remains essentially constant even in the range of thermally activated conduction and Mott VRH.

    The effect of Coulomb interaction on current noise in a quantum dot not is studied by using the Anderson model. Based on the perturbation expansion in the coupling between the dot and reservoirs in terms of the Keldysh-Green function, current and current noise are computed as functions of applied bias voltage including the infinite-order Coulomb interaction.

    The temperature (T) dependence of the resistivity of Co/Cu superlattices having antiferromagnetic (AF) and ferromagnetic (F) interlayer exchange coupling was investigated. The results show that the resistivity versus temperature relationship exhibits a minimum for AF-coupled Co/Cu superlattices while that for F-coupled Co/Cu superlattices dose not. This minimum can be explained by the T dependences of the magnetoresistance (MR) and saturation resistivity, which behave as Tn power laws for T dependence of MR at low temperatures. The powevr laws for T dependences of MR are related to the two-dimensional (2D) behavior due to the weak interlayer exchange coupling and to the T dependence of the magnetization.

    Ground states of the two-dimensional t-t'-J model with one and two holes in 4× 4 sites (with periodic boundary conditions) are studied numerically. Using a Lanczos algorithm, we calculate the ground-state energy and momentum distribution, and the phase diagram in the plane of J/t and t'/t is presented. The momentum distribution for J/t=0.25 is compared with the Fermi surface obtained in the mean-field theory. It is shown that the t'/t dependences of the momentum distribution are consistent with the mean-field approximation, although there are quantitative differences between them.

    The ground-state phase diagram of the J1-J2 model is investigated on the basis of cluster-effective-field approximations. Following our previous studies on the S=1/2 frustrated XXZ chain, classical magnetic order parameters such as the Néel and collinear ones, and the columnar dimer order parameter are analyzed using periodic-boundary clusters. Within these approximations, classical magnetic order is stable in the whole parameter region.

    We study the S=1 quantum spin chain with bond alternation Η=∑i (1-(-1)iδ )Si· Si+1 by the density matrix renormalization group method recently proposed by White (Phys. Rev. Lett. 69 (1992) 2863). We find a massless point at δc=0.25 ± 0.01. We also find the edge states in the region δ <δc under the open boundary condition, which disappear in the region δ >δc. At the massless point, the spin wave velocity vs is 3.66± 0.10 and the central charge c is 1.0± 0.15. Our results indicate that a continuous phase transition occurs at the massless point δ =δc accompanying breaking of the hidden Z2× Z2 symmetry.

    We have found a new compound CePd3.8Al7.2 which crystallizes in the tetragonal BaCd11-type structure. We report the results of the low-temperature specific heat and magnetic susceptibility measurements. The compound did not exhibit any long-range magnetic order down to about 0.5, K. The value of specific heat divided by temperature is strongly enhanced and reaches 6, J/mole· K2 at the lowest temperature. This confirms that CePd3.8Al7.2 is one of the heaviest electron systems.

    We propose a mechanism for circular magnetic X-ray dichroism (CMXD) in a pre-edge region of the Fe K-edge in rare-earth iron garnets, within a cluster approximation. The pre-edge absorption is assumed to be dominated by the electric-dipole transition from 1s states to 4p states mixed with 3d states of Fe ions through the hybridization between these orbitals and 2p orbitals of nearest-neighbor O ions. Considering the different symmetries and the different spin orientations for Fe ions at the tetrahedral (Td) site and at the octahedral (Oh) site, we calculate CMXD for both cases based on Td and Oh iron-oxygen clusters. It is found that CMXD is a manifestation of the combined effect of the spin-orbit coupling and the spin polarization in the 3d orbitals. The result is discussed in connection with experimental observations.

Approximate analytical solutions for moving and stationary anharmonic localized modes and vortexlike modes (d>2) are obtained for | ki| << 1 and | Ki| << 1. For λ =0, exact static vortexlike mode solutions exist provided the ki's and the Ki's satisfy certain specific conditions. For d=1, numerical experiments are performed to confirm the existence of the asymptotically exact moving anharmonic localized modes in the SL equation for λ =0.

    As an efficient method for rapid calculation of electronic states of atoms and ions, a new approach is proposed. In this method, the electron density is determined by a local scale change to a reference density which can easily be evaluated. A series of calculations are made for Ar-isoelectronic sequence and several rare gas like atoms by using the reference densities with inter-electronic interactions disregarded. A detailed numerical examination indicates that the present method, in spite of its simplicity, yields good approximate solutions for the electronic states of atoms and ions. In fact, the results of the present method are in good agreement with those of the self-consistent field. The agreement is particularly good in the case of highly ionized atoms, indicating the usefulness of the method in ion physics.

    We propose an efficient method of collisional transfer of transverse magnetic moment between different kinds of atoms using the spin-locking technique. Demonstrating experiments with a rotating or an oscillating rf field are carried out on a 85Rb--133Cs vapor, and the transfer of a large amount of the transverse magnetic moment is observed when the amplitude H1 of the rf field is comparable to the static magnetic field strength H0. The H1-dependence of the transfer, in the case of the oscillating rf field, is not simple, because of the Bloch-Siegert shift and associated resonance effects. The transfer of the transverse magnetic moment under the strong rf field is numerically analyzed with the Bloch equations for 85Rb and 133Cs coupled through spin-exchange collisions.

    The extension of liquid oxygen meniscus in magnetic fields has been systematically measured in various fields up to 5, T at temperatures of 65.3, K and 77.1, K. On the basis of the interfacial equation for magnetic fluid, experimental data obtained are analyzed quantitatively. It is found that the deformation of the meniscus can be determined by the balance between the magnetic normal stress and capillary pressure, which act in opposite direction at the interface.

    Finite amplitude Rayleigh-Benard Convection in a rotating fluid havebeen investigated when the Prandtl number is large (σ=O(1/ε ) >> 1). In this limit of the Prandtl number, Hopf bifurcation is absent. The time-dependent one-dimensional Landau-Ginzburg equation was discussed near the onset of stationary convection (supercritical cusp bifurcation) in this limit. The steady-state solution of the Landau-Ginzburg equation, which describes the nonlinear behaviour of the convection, was obtained.

    The structure factors of amorphous Se at room temperature have been obtained by X-ray and neutron diffraction with sufficient accuracy. Although the coincedence of both structure factors is excellent, a clear difference has been found between X-ray and neutron diffraction results. The ion-electron correlation and valence electron distribution functions were evaluated from this difference. The obtained electron distribution function shows a broad peak at the distance around 1.0, Å and the peak has a shoulder around 1.6, Å. These may correspond to the distribution of the lone pair electrons and the covalent bonded electrons around a central Se ion, respectively.

For a phonon mode in the rather narrow q-region near the zone boundary, or for a mode well characterized by the dimerization type motion of nearest neighbor Cu atoms in the CuO2 planes, the T-dependence of the phonon-energy is larger for the former crystal than the latter one, suggesting that the T-dependence is stronger for samples with larger transport anomalies.

It is found that the CaF2 film produces a change in the dielectric constant of copper and leads to a decrease of L. It is also shown that L varies with the evaporation speed of the copper film. In order to know the effect of surface roughness on L in the visible region, where various SP experiments have been carried out, we have investigated a roughness effect on the SP propagating along an air-silver interface at wavelength of 0.6328, μ m.

    The spin-polarized band calculations including spin-orbit interactionfor τ -phase (L10) MnAl have been performed with LMTO-ASAmethod in the frame of LSD. It has been predicted that the MnAl has amagnetic moment of 2.4, μ B with a help of the tetragonaldistortion from cubic B2 to L10 structure. The magnetocrystallineanisotropy energy (MAE) is obtained as (0.26 ± 0.01) meV/f.u. Thisleads to 1.5 × 106, J/m3 for magnetic anisotropy constant which is comparable to the measured value -- 106, J/m3. The dependence of the MAE on axial ratio c/a also reflects the influence of the tetragonal distortion, that is, the MAE shows drastic change from negative to positive at the vicinity of c/a=0.7071 which corresponds to cubic B2 lattice. For larger value of c/a, MAE decreases with increasing c/a and goes into negative again for c/a>1.2.

Below Tt the T1/2 contribution withnegative sign to the thermoelectric power (S) is superimposed on theusual degenerate semiconductive contribution with positive sign. Itovercomes the latter contribution above a concentration (xc). The value of xc increases in the order of M=Ti, V andCr. These results indicate that the T1/2 contribution to Scomes from variable range hopping through the localized states formednear EF within the narrow charge-transfer gap of theparent NiS. Above Tt the sign of S is negative in the electron-doped Ni1-xMxS as well as in the hole-doped Ni1-xS, suggesting that they have the Fermi surface topology.

    Transport properties of La2-xSrxCuO4, YBa2Cu3O6+x andBi1.6Pb0.5Sr1.9-yLayCu1.05Oz have beenstudied over wide temperature regions. Drastic temperature variationsof the Hall coefficients RH found in the underdoped region ofthe hole carriers suggest that there exists a crossover-like change ofthe electronic state above room temperature. Temperature dependence ofother transport properties studied at high temperatures is alsodiscussed in relation to this anomalous behavior of RH. Theseresults elucidate the formation process of the abnormal metallic stateof high-Tc oxides at low temperatures, the existence of which characterizes the metal-insulator transition of the Cu-oxide system as a new-type Mott-Hubbard transition.

    The tunnel conductances were measured for the Ag--SiO--BaPb0.75Bi0.25O3 junctions at 4.2, K under magnetic fields of 0, 0.62, 1.24, 2.17 and 3.41, T. The coupling strength factor, 2Δ/kBTc is found to be equal to 3.6 and in a weak coupling regime. From the magnetic field dependence of tunnel conductance at V=0, mV, the second critical magnetic field Hc is estimated as 4.2, T at 4.2, K. It is found that the large value of tunnel conductance at zero bias voltage is brought by a lifetime effect of BaPb0.75Bi0.25O3 and a leak current and that taking into account the leak current, the present tunnel conductance characteristics can be explained in the framework of BCS theory.

    We report the temperature dependence of the planar 63Cu(2)nuclear spin-spin relaxation rate for high-Tc Cu oxidesuperconductors YBa2Cu3O6.98 (Tc -- 92, K), LaBa2Cu3O6.93 (Tc -- 92, K) andY2Ba4Cu7O14.95 (Tc-- 60, K), includingthe previous report for YBa2Cu4O8 (Tc--82, K). The Gaussian decay rate 1/63TG below Tcshows a slight decrease but remains enhanced as above Tc. Asecondary reduction of 1/63TG forYBa2Cu3O6.98 and LaBa2Cu3O6.93 has alsobeen observed below about 30, K. We associate this with a change inthe character of the superconducting order parameter. We conclude thatCooper pair of the high-Tc superconducting state is basically in a d-wave gap state.

    The formulation of strong coupling theory for superconductivity in the ultra-high magnetic field is made in the expression of Dyson's equation for the case where electrons are confined only in a few Landau levels. The set of self-consistent equations is proposed in the procedure of Eliashberg theory. Further, results of numerical calculation for the 2-dimensional system performed by the use of Frölich-type potential are discussed. In the dependence of the critical temperature Tc on the field, the convex-structures appear whose peaks correspond to the half-filling in Landau levels. For the ultra-high field where electrons occupy only the ground Landau level, Tc increases with increasing the field. However, it has the tendency to be suppressed by the effect of the retardation for the interaction. On the contrary, the renormalization coefficient increases more abruptly. These behaviors are characteristic features shown clearly in the present calculation.

    In order to understand spin freezing properties, ac-susceptibility χac and relaxation of thermoremanent magnetization (TRM) were measured on an Ising spin glass Fe0.05TiS2 in zero and non-zero fields. Analysis of χac above the spin glass freezing temperature shows that a rectangular distribution of spin relaxation times is appropriate and the temperature dependence of the average spin relaxation time follows the power law. The waiting time effects on the relaxation of TRM below the freezing temperature can be interpreted by a hierarchical many-valley structure. These results are consistent with Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model's prediction that the spin glass freezing is a phase transition in both zero and non-zero fields.

    Treating the periodic Anderson model with the electron-phonon (e-p) interaction in the mean field theory, we examine the insulating state in DCNQI-Cu salts as the function of both the temperature and the e-p coupling constant. By extending the work [J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. 61 (1992) 3322] to the case where the e-p interaction at the Cu site is added, it is shown that the phase transition into the coexistent state of charge density and spin density is accompanied by the large jump of their amplitudes in addition to the hysteresis.

    The hyperfine (hf) fields at the nuclei of N, Ge, Tl, V and Fe impurities in ferromagnetic GdZn and GdCd have been measured by NMR and Mössbauer methods. The results, together with the reported ones, nearly complete the systematics of the hf fields at sp and 3d impurities in GdZn(Cd). The hf fields at 4sp, 5sp and 6sp impurities are always negative, exhibiting a similar variation with increasing the impurity valence. The trend of the hf fields at 3d impurities shows local moment contributions to the hf field at the middle of the 3d series, indicating finite local moments on Mn and Fe impurities. These results are found to resemble the systematics of the hf fields at impurities in Gd and are qualitatively explained by the theory of the hf field developed for Fe and Ni hosts.

    We have measured the electrical resistivity, Hall coefficient, thermoelectric power, magnetic susceptibility, magnetization, specific heat, magnetoresistance and de Haas-van Alphen (dHvA) oscillation of UPd3 to clarify the magnetic and Fermi surface properties. A phase transition, which occurs at about 4.5, K, is most likely related to the antiferromagnetic ordering because the magnetic specific heat shows a T3 dependence below 2, K. About ten different dHvA branches ranging from 1.8 × 105, Oe to 7.5 × 107, Oe have been observed. From the angular dependence of dHvA frequency, UPd3 is found to consist of the closed spherical Fermi surfaces and multiply-connected ones. The cyclotron masses are light, ranging from 0.5m0 to 3.6m0, which indicate the localized f electron character.

    Magnetic excitations of CsMnI3, a quasi-one-dimensional Heisenberg antiferromagnet with S=5/2, have been measured by means of inelastic neutron scattering. Magnetic excitations in the low temperature phase are in good agreement with the predictions of the conventional linear spin-wave theory. In particular, in accordance with the linear spin-wave theory, we found three separate modes at Q=(0, , 0, , 1) instead of a threefold degenerate mode as seen in CsNiCl3 (S=1). It confirms that the spin dynamics of the integer spin value system are very different from those of the half-integer spin value system, even in their three-dimensionally ordered phase. Magnetic excitations in the intermediate phase have been also studied and it is found that the excitations were similar to those in the low temperature phase, except some overdamped intensities at certain reciprocal points. These intensities can be associated to the slow rotational motions of the spins around the c-axis.

    The Green's function formalism proposed by Kondo and Yamaji for low-dimensional spin systems with S=1/2 has been extended to the cases of S>1/2. We apply this formalism to the study of one- and two-dimensional Heisenberg ferromagnets over the whole temperature range. It is shown that our theory can reproduce the correct results obtained by the high-temperature expansion method. On the other hand, the results at low temperatures are similar to those of the modified spin-wave theory, which is considered to predict the low-temperature properties of such systems rather correctly. The gross behaviors of the calculated thermodynamic quantities of ferromagnetic Heisenberg chains agree with those obtained by the exact diagonalization method.

    Rhombohedral Cr2Se3 is an antiferromagnetic compound with antiferromagnetic AF(L) phase below 38, K (=Tt) and the antiferromagnetic AF(H) one between 38, K and 45, K (=TN). Neutron diffraction studies for rhombohedral Cr2Se3 are carried out at temperatures from 6, K to 77, K. The results show that the magnetic structures of AF(L) and AF(H) phase are a non-collinear and collinear antiferromagnetic structures, respectively, with the monoclinic magnetic unit cell. It was found that Cr moments at the a-sites are frustrated in the AF(H) phase.

    The magnetic properties of La2-xMxCuO4 (M=Ba, , Sr) for 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.08 have been investigated from 1.5, K to 300, K by the nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) of 139La (I=7/2). The electrical quadrupole relaxation process of 139La in La2CuO4 is dominant above 50, K in spite of the existence of the internal field at the La site due to the antiferromagnetic ordering of Cu-moments. At low temperature, the magnetic relaxation process becomes dominant. From the divergence of the nuclear relaxation rate, T1-1, of 139La, we obtain the magnetic phase diagram which consists of two distinct magnetic phases for 0 < x < 0.05. The internal field at the La-site changes discontinuously at TC* at which the temperature dependence of T1-1 shows a peak. This change can be interpreted by decrease of the transferred hyperfine fields from Cu spins through the apical oxygen of the CuO6 octahedron below TC*.

    The ferroelectric phase transition of hydrogen-bonded crystal KDP is studied under a consideration that the electric polarization is brought by tetrahedral radicals PO4 which are described by orientational rotators with 6 directions and protons mediate interaction between the neighboring PO4 radicals. The isotope effect is explained by assuming the difference of rotator-proton coupling constants between KDP and DKDP, without the introduction of tunnelling. The configurational energies for 4 protons around a PO4 radical are derived, and from the above assumption the mass dependence of energy levels is obtained against the Slater theory.

    X-ray diffraction topographic studies on the procedure of polarization reversal of ferroelectric thiourea and on the change in the domain configuration of NaNO2 near the Curie temperature Tc have been made. Polarization reversal of thiourea takes place via an intermediate state which is domain-wall-like in structure. This procedure is the same as the case of NaNO2. On the topographs of NaNO2 taken at the temperatures near Tc width of the domain walls become wider on approaching to Tc, and at the ferro-antiferro phase boundaries all domains are eroded by the broadened domain walls. The results of the present study together with our previous X-ray topographic studies on NaNO2 and on thiourea suggest that the domain walls, the intermediate states of polarization reversal and the modulated incommensurate phases above Tc resemble in structure.

    The dielectric constant εc along the c-axis of hexagonal BaTiO3 has been measured from 5, K to 300, K as a function of hydrostatic pressure p up to 4, GPa. The hexagonal to orthorhombic transition point T0 (222, K at 105, Pa) decreases at a rate of 34, K/GPa and vanishes at pressures above pc=3.4, GPa; the T0 vs p curve is well represented by an equation of T0=a(pc-p)1/2 over the whole pressure range. While, the ferroelectric phase transition point TC (77, K at 105, Pa) initially increases and then decreases only slightly with increasing pressure; interestingly, the dielectric anomaly at TC disappears at pressures above 1, GPa. Another lattice instability like a quantum paraelectricity seems to exist at low temperatures. Some discussions are presented for the mechanism of the phase transitions.

    The complex dielectric constant of N2H5Al(SO4)2 · 12H2O along the cubic [100] direction ε* was measured in a frequency range between 10, kHz and 1, GHz. The critical slowing-down phenomenon of polarization was observed above the transition temperature 164.5, K (TC). The experimental result was analyzed on the basis of the dielectric formula which represents the sum of two independent relaxators characterized by relaxation times τ1 and τ2. The static dielectric constant of one relaxator, ε1S, obeys the Curie-Weiss law with the Curie constant C1=1.75 × 102, K and the paraelectric Curie temperature T01=148, K, while that of the other, ε2S, hardly depends on temperature. The relaxation time τ1 can be well explained by the relation τ101 · T/(T-T01) with τ01=(h/kBT) · exp (ΔF1/kBT), and the activation free energy was estimated to be ΔF1=1.51× 10-20, J just above TC.
