    The su(1|1) symmetric version of the Haldane-Shastry spin chain is diagonalized by means of a linear transformation. The same transformation applied to the original su(2) model yields simple expressions for the Hamiltonian and the generators of the Yangian symmetry of the model in terms of spin wave operators.

    The bifurcation process of periodic orbits of the Hénon-Heiles Hamiltonian system is investigated by calculating residues. Threefold symmetry of the system induces bifurcations with triple branches, to which the generic bifurcation scheme proposed by Meyer can not be applied. Normal form analysis gives results consistent with numerically observed bifurcations.

    The equilibrium crystal shape (ECS) for the body-centered solid-on-solid (BCSOS) model in the low-temperature phase is studied. Based on the equivalence between the BCSOS model and the asymmetric six-vertex model, the surface free energy f(ρ) (ρ: step density) is calculated for general mean surface tilt angle. In the expansion, f(ρ )=f(0)+α ρ+βρ3+O(ρ4), the universal relation between a and b is verified. Accordingly, the Gaussian curvature of the ECS is shown to assume a universal finite jump at any position of the facet edge of the crystal.

    The density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) method is applied to the interaction round a face (IRF) model. When the transfer matrix is asymmetric, singular-value decomposition of the density matrix is required. A trial numerical calculation is performed on the square lattice Ising model, which is a special case of the IRF model.

    Hydrodynamical effects due to Marangoni instability in the Big Wave, which is the wave observed in a quasi 2-dimensional shallow layer of unstirred excitable Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction solution, were investigated experimentally. We found that the layer depth of BZ solution strongly influences the propagating velocity and the shape of the wave. The critical depth dc of BZ solution was found to be dc≈ 1.5, mm. The qualitative feature of the propagation of the wave changed at dc. We also determined the difference between the location of the maximum deformation of the surface and that of a wave front such as the color front.

    Effects of radial transport on potential formation in the plug cell of a tandem mirror are studied. The radial transport equation including a mobility for potential-trapped electrons in the plug cell is solved numerically in the steady state. It is shown that radial particle diffusion-losses enhance the confining potential for plug-cell electrons, of which magnitude is obtained as a function of radial diffusion-loss time for different values of the mobility and for different profiles of the potential. It is also found that a hysteresis arises in the relation between the potential and the radial diffusion-loss time, which causes a mode transition.

    X-ray diffraction study has been performed on a single crystal of La1.91Ba0.09CuO4 using a four-circle diffractometer. It is found that the crystal structure is orthorhombic (low-temperature-orthorhombic; LTO), but an extra reflection is observed at (½, ½, 0) in the high-temperature-tetragonal (space group I4/mmm) coordinates, which is forbidden by the extinction rule for the well-known LTO structure (space group Bmab), at 300, K. The intensity of the extra reflection is lower than that of the most intense fundamental reflection (1, 1, 0) by three orders of magnitude, but the sharp line shape suggests a long-range lattice modulation of the unit cell. The intensity exhibits no significant change in the temperature range down to 14, K. We also report the same kind of reflections in high-quality single crystals of La2-xSrxCuO4.

    We demonstrate the generation of zero-current voltage fluctuations in quantum dots at high magnetic fields, where one or more edge states (ES) are trapped within the dot. While currently unable to provide a definitive model for the generation of the noise, we propose a possible mechanism in which time-dependent perturbations to the dot geometry, give rise to corresponding fluctuations in the coupling between the transmitted and confined ES. In other words, the voltage noise is thought to be a direct probe, of the time-dependent motion of the electronic distribution within the dot.

    Magnetotransport properties were investigated for a crystal of perovskite-type manganese oxide, Pr1-xCaxMnO3 (x=0.3). The single-crystal compound is insulating and below 220, K shows the charge-ordering of Mn3+ and Mn4+ species. Application of a magnetic field (>20, kOe) changes a canted antiferromagnetic insulating state into a ferromagnetic metallic state accompanied by change of resistivity by several orders of magnitude. At low temperatures, e.g., <50, K, the hysteresis of the transition field is pronounced and the field-induced insulator-to-metal transition becomes irreversible.

    We have found that the interlayer exchange coupling between two Fe layers separated by a Au spacer oscillates as a function of the Au cap layer thickness in a MBE-grown Au/Fe/Au/Fe/Au(001) sandwich structure. Two oscillations with periods of 2.6 ML and 8.0 ML were observed. The characteristics of the Au cap layer thickness dependence, namely the appearance of two oscillations and the values of their oscillation periods are the same as those for the Au interlayer. The behavior can be explained as arising from the quantum interference effect in the Au cap layer.

    A new type of solution is found of the one-dimensional Ginzburg-Landau equation for superconducting pairing gap Δ(x) coupled with magnetization M(x). It describes a periodic coexistence of superconductivity and magnetic order realized in an open system, which is stabilized by external electric current. Within a spatial period of this phase, d-- (8π2c/a0)1/2(TM-T)-1/2, there appears a pair of magnetic domain walls at x=d/4 and 3d/4, where Δ(x) reaches its maxima. A novel feature is that such an order is induced and controlled by the electric current supplied from the external device, j, defining another order parameter related to the phase factor of the gap, ζ =mj/(h/2π) e-- (4α30/27β2γ )1/2 (Tc-T)3/2.

    Effect of impurities on the high-field magnetization process in a frustrated antiferromagnet CuFeO2 is studied for powder samples of CuFe1-xAlxO2 (0≤ x≤ 0.1) and CuFe1-xCrxO2 (0≤ x≤ 0.08) using a pulse magnet up to 38, T. For the pure Fe compound distinct magnetization anomalies are successively observed at 7, 12 and 20, T due to the field-induced transitions originated from a subtle balance of competing interactions. These anomalies rapidly disappear with increasing impurity concentration. The effect of impurities is interpreted in terms of the magnetic domain model in which the collinear spin structure of the pure system survives locally as domains without coherence as a consequence of partial suppression of a geometrical frustration by impurities.

    Magnetization measurement and inelastic neutron scattering have been performed on a single crystal of a new Haldane system Y2BaNiO5. Magnetic susceptibility shows a weak anisotropy and decreases as temperature decreases, reflecting the singlet ground state at low temperature. The energy gaps were found to be Δ///kB=118, K and Δ/kB=104, K, parallel and perpendicular to the chain, respectively. Using inelastic neutron scattering magnetic excitations along the chain (a*-) and perpendicular (c*-) directions up to 30, meV energy transfer are studied. Energy gap of about 10, meV (116, K) is observed along the one-dimensional, antiferromagnetic zone center, in good agreement with the magnetization measurement. The observed dispersion relation in the chain direction with the gap can be well described by the exact numerical results of S=1, Heisenberg antiferromagnetic chain yielding an intrachain exchange of J/kB=280± 10, K.

An undulation of the surface was observed around the boundary of 90° domains of the as-grown surface of the so-called butterfly crystals, which can be reasonably explained by the tetragonality of this crystal at room temperature.

    It is shown that a hierarchy of the Lotka-Volterra equations is generated from the QR algorithm to find eigenvalues of a given matrix. One of the equations in the hierarchy is given by dNk/dt=Nk {Nk+1(Nk+Nk+1+Nk+2) -Nk-1(Nk-2+Nk-1+Nk)}, in which one species interacts with other four species. The relation between this hierarchy and the Toda lattice hierarchy is discussed. Moreover, the structure of soliton solutions is studied by means of the bilinear formalism.

    Asymptotic correlation functions of the eigenvalues in the limit of large dimension of random matrices are evaluated for two models related to the Jacobi polynomials. One of the models is a generalization of Dyson's circular ensemble. Both models show identical unfolded correlations near a singularity of the spectrum. A previously unnoticed universal behavior of random matrix ensembles near a singularity is discussed.

    A method of finding slow relaxation modes in random spin systems is proposed. For stochastic dynamics, an approximate relaxation mode {fi} and its relaxation rate λ are determined from an eigenvalue problem ∑ j, Ci, j(t0+t)fj=exp, (-λ t), ∑ j , Ci, j(t0)fj, where Ci, j(t)=‹ Si(t) · Sj(0)› is the correlation matrix of spins. The method is applied to the two-dimensional ± J Ising spin glass below the critical temperature of the corresponding nonrandom ferromagnet. It is found through Monte Carlo simulations that the slow relaxation modes obtained by the present method describe the long-time behavior of spins well. The slow relaxation modes are spatially localized and can be regarded as clusters. The distribution of the relaxation rates is consistent with the prediction of the theory which assumes independent motion of clusters.

    The two-dimensional ± J random Ising model is studied numerically up to a system size 700× 701 by using the Pfaffian method which gives exact free energy and correlation functions. The behavior of the specific heat at the paramagnetic-ferromagnetic phase boundary is analysed by using logarithmic type, double-logarithmic type and cusp type of regression equations. It is found that the logarithmic divergence is the most natural behavior. The critical temperature is determined accurately.

    The level scheme of 177Lu following the β-decay of 177Yb (T1/2=1.9, h) has been constructed from results of γ singles and γ-γ coincidence measurements. Angular correlations of γ-rays were measured with a 4-Ge detector system. Mixing ratios (E2/M1) of seven γ-rays were obtained. The spins and parities of the 1049.4, 1150.0 and 1241.7, keV levels have been assigned to be 9/2-, 7/2+ and 7/2+, respectively. These assignments for the 1049.4 and 1241.7, keV levels are consistent with the interpretation that these levels are members of three-quasiparticle multiplets. Energy splittings of three-quasiparticle states were calculated. The calculated 1160, keV 7/2+ level may correspond to the observed 1150.0, keV 7/2+ level. A calculation with a rotation-vibration coupling model was performed. The K-2 γ-vibrational state of the 7/2+[404] state and the K± 2 γ-vibrational states of the 9/2-[514] state are expected to exist near 1300, keV.

    Stability of Kolmogorov flow: U=-sin y to any finite disturbances is treated by using the energy method. The linear damping term -λ u due to the bottom friction is taken into account. The Euler-Lagrange equation is solved numerically and analytically to determine the critical Reynolds number, REc, below which subcritical instability cannot occur. It is shown numerically that REc and the linear critical Reynolds number, RLc are of the same order in 0<λ <200. The critical wavenumber, (αEc, , βEc) is always (0, , 0) when λ <49.1; otherwise α Ec≠ 0. By using a small wavenumber expansion, it is obtained that RE= [8λ (λ +1)]1/2 at α=0. In the limit λ → ∞, numerical results suggest that REc→ 2λ and αEc→ ∞. In this limit for general parallel flow U(y) the relation: (2/M)λ EcLc=(1/σ0)λ is obtained analytically where M=maxy, | ∂ U/∂ y|, and σ0 is the inviscid maximum growth rate.

    In the present paper we have carefully examined the behavior of Qp(r), the moments of the enstrophy dissipation rate in two-dimensional turbulence averaged over squares of size r. We found a new scaling relation between Qp(r) and Qp-1(r), which helps to establish the existence of two scaling regimes of Qp(r) in the large and small r region. The crossover scale is the length of the strips where the strong enstrophy dissipation occurs. If the length is much longer than the dissipation length corresponding to the width of the strips, such a scale is expected to naturally come in the scaling of Qp(r), casting a doubt on the usual statement that there is no characteristic length in turbulence. The implication of the result is discussed in relation to three-dimensional turbulence.

    A method is presented for generating a vortex ring in water by an exploding wire installed in a metal pipe. As a vapor bubble accompanied by wire explosion grows, water starts to flow with a high speed resulting in a formation of a vortex ring at the outlet of the pipe. The growth speed of a vapor bubble by the exploding wire in water is measured as 10-- 20, m/s, in consistent with measurements of the translational velocity, 4-- 5, m/s, of vortex ring and the rotational velocity, about 10, m/s, of fluid at the edge of vortex core. The Reynolds number based on the diameter of orifice, the velocity of vortex ring and the kinematic viscosity reaches the order of 105. The magnitude of vorticity and the circulation are in the order of 103/s and 10-1, m2/s. These values are larger by about 10 times than those reported previously.

    The dispersion characteristics of the circularly polarized electromagnetic waves propagating along a homogeneous magnetic field in a dusty plasma have been investigated theoretically. The Vlasov equation has been employed to find the response of the magnetized plasma particles where the dust grains form a static background of highly charged and massive centers having certain correlation. It is found that in addition to the usual Landau damping which is negligible in the low temperature approximation, a novel mechanism of damping of the Alfvén waves due to the dust comes into play. The modification and damping of the Alfvén waves depend on the dust perturbation parameters, unequal densities of plasma particles, the average correlation length of the dust grains, temperature of the plasma and the magnetic field.

    A general expression of the scattering intensity for non-crystalline materials has been proposed by introducing the correlations of the thermal displacements of atoms. The statistical average of the scattering intensity consists of two contributions; thermal vibrations and static disordered arrangements. The profiles of the X-ray scattering intensity for amorphous Pd80Si20 and the neutron thermal scattering intensity for amorphous Ge are discussed with the present theory including the correlations of the thermal displacements of atoms.

    We have theoretically studied the electro-optic effect and third-order nonlinear dielectric response in antiferroelectric liquid crystals on the basis of phenomenological equations of motion. It has been found that the antiferroelectric soft and Goldstone modes can be excited by an electric field, though they respond to the square of the field but not to the field itself, and they modulate the dielectric constant both for the visible light and low frequencies, contributing to the electro-optic effect and the third-order nonlinear dielectric response, respectively. The transmitted intensity and the third-order dielectric constant were theoretically derived, and the former was compared with experimental results.

    A chiral rod-like molecule has the head-tail asymmetry, so that the pair potential between such molecules in head-to-head configuration is naturally different from the potential of those in tail-to-tail or head-to-tail configuration. Taking the head-tail asymmetry into account, we propose a simple model of chiral smectics and calculate the free energy of possible phases in a mean field approximation. The results show that the head-tail asymmetry can contribute to stabilize certain type of antiferroelectric phase between the ferroelectric smectic-C* phase and the antiferroelectric smectic-C*A phase.

    X-ray diffraction experiments have been performed near the ferroelastic first-order phase transition temperature in lanthanum niobate LaNbO4, which transforms from a tetragonal phase to a monoclinic phase at Tc=768, K with a discontinuous change of the lattice parameter Δβ =0.4°. With regard to the temperature dependence of the Bragg reflection near Tc, such pretransitional phenomena as decreasing of the peak intensity and broadening of the profile were observed. Furthermore, in the high temperature phase, as the temperature was close to Tc, the anisotropic diffuse scattering around the Bragg reflections extended to the directions where the Bragg reflections in the low temperature phase appeared was observed. These behaviors were contrasted with the well known precursor phenomena of the martensitic phase transformation in metals and alloys.

    The specific heats of niobium chalcogenide Nb3S4, Nb3Se4 and Nb3Te4 have been measured in the temperature range from 0.5 to 150, K. The lattice contribution to the specific heat of Nb3S4 and Nb3Se4 deviates from a T3 dependence at about 13 and 7, K and then changes to a T1 dependence with increasing temperature. The lattice-specific heat of Nb3Te4 deviates from a T3 dependence near 2, K, changing from T3 to rough T2.2 and then begins saturate toward the classical value with increasing temperature. The anisotropy in force constants that causes these behaviors is discussed in relation to the crystal structure of Nb3X4.

    Two chains of interacting spinless fermions in the presence of interchain hopping are investigated by use of phase Hamiltonian based on bosonization method. Excitation spectrum and phase diagram at absolute zero temperature are obtained by means of renormalization group method. Momentum distribution functions are also calculated. It is shown that the interchain hopping gives rise to drastic effects on properties of ground state compared to interchain interaction and is crucial to appearance of ordered states in higher dimensions.

    Effects of a single impurity in the degenerate lattice Anderson model describing heavy elecron systems are investigated rigorously within the framework of the axiliary boson method and the perturbation expansion from the large limit of the spin-orbital degeneracy N (1/N-expansion). It is found that a non-magnetic impurity leads to the unitarity limit value of the scattering rate of the conduction electrons at low temperature while it has no appreciable effect on the thermodynamic properties. These results are consistent with the experimental observations on the heavy electron systems such as Ce1-xLaxCu6.

    The P Kβ emission and S Kβ emission spectra in fluorescence from many selected compounds, P4O10, KPF6, M4P2O7, M2SO3, M2SO4, MHSO4 (M=Na and K), P4Sn (n=3, , 5, , 7 and 10), Na2S2On (n=3--7) and K2S2On (n=3, , 5, , 7 and 8), are measured with a high-resolution two-crystal vacuum spectrometer equipped with Ge(111) crystals. The measured Kβ emission spectra are discussed in relation to the fundamental structures of the compounds and interpreted in terms of available molecular-orbital calculations of the PF-6 ion and sulfur oxo anions. It is shown that the emission spectra are strongly influenced by chemical environments around phosphorus and sulfur atoms in the compounds, but little affected by the metal ions Na+ and K+.

    We have investigated the first order field induced phase transitions observed in α-(BEDT-TTF)2MHg(SCN)4 (M=K, Rb and Tl) by examining theoretically the energetics of the magnetic breakdown phenomena in high fields (H) which were understood as a probabilistic process. Since the diamagnetic energy loss associated with the cyclotron motion is effectively lowered by taking a larger orbit in reciprocal space as H increases, the spin density wave (SDW) gap formed on an orbit can be eliminated by the “break-through” electrons. An origin of the field-induced reentrant transition from SDW to the normal state in those quasi-two dimensional conductors is attributed to this energetics. The quantum magnetic oscillation is predicted to yield a novel type of successive phase transitions where two phases are interwoven in a fine scale against H.

    Band structure calculations based on the full-potential linearized augmented-plane-wave method are performed for the metallic FCC phase of solid iodine. Pressures which are evaluated from the total energy as a function of the atomic volume agree well with the observations. The calculated Hall coefficients are positive and agree in order of magnitude with the experimental data. Contradicting with the observations, however, they decrease slowly as pressure increases. Pressure effects on the electron-lattice interaction are studied microscopically on the basis of the tight-binding scheme. The magnitude of the transfer integrals and their derivatives increase significantly with increasing pressure. As the results the McMillan-Hopfield parameter N(EF)‹ ξ 2› increase with increasing pressure, which indicates a possibility of increase of the superconducting transition temperature with increasing pressure. Here N(EF) denotes the desnity of states at the Fermi level and ‹ ξ 2› is the Fermi surface average of squaure of electron-phonon coupling.

    The effect of on-site Coulomb repulsion on the process of resonant tunneling through a small interacting region is studied in the presence of a magnetic field by using the recursive Green's function method within a mean field approximation. The conductance is calculated as a function of the chemical potential μ making use of the Kubo formula, and calculations are performed for single- and double-mode quasi-one-dimensional quantum wires. In a magnetic field, some resonance levels close each other to form a single Landau level, so that the electron correlation in the small region is enhanced, and the μ-dependence of the conductance is changed by rather small value of the Coulomb repulsion. For the double-mode wire a collinear-type electronic state, in which spins in the small region are aligned antiferromagnetically in the x-direction and ferromagnetically in the y-direction, is found to be stable over a wide range of the chemical potential.

    We have done the transverse magnetoresistance and the de Haas-van Alphen (dHvA) experiments in UPt3. The magnetoresistance increases in the whole field direction. UPt3 is thus a compensated metal, possessing no open orbits. As for the dHvA experiment, we have observed at least three new branches. One of them is in the basal plane and the others are around the [0001] direction. The branches with dHvA frequencies of 2.7× 107, Oe and 4.9× 107, Oe in the field along [0001] possess large masses of 40--50m0. These results have been discussed on the basis of the 5f-itinerant Fermi surface model.

    Transport and magnetic measurements including the magnetic resonance of 51V nuclei have been carried out for misfit-layer compounds (La1-yRyS)1+αVS2 (R=Sr and Pb, 0≤ y≤ 1.0). The results indicate that the system is in the Mott insulating state at high temperatures, at least in the y region near α /(1+α) which corresponds to the V-valency of +3. It undergoes a transition with decreasing temperature possibly to a nonmagnetic ground state. With increasing carrier doping into this insulating state, the system tends to become metallic and an essentially metallic state is realized in the hole-doped region 0.30 x ≡ y(1+α )<0.5, where various properties are found to exhibit anomalous behavior similar to the case of high-Tc Cu-oxides.

    The thermoelectric power S of artificial magnetic multilayers of Fe/Au has been measured as functions of temperature T as well as magnetic field H. The magneto-thermoelectric power (MTEP) was found to have a negative sign. In addition, data of S of magnetic multilayers of Co/Cu hitherto published were reexamined in order of clarify its sample dependence, and MTEP for these multilayers was ascertained to have also a negative sign. The negative sign of MTEP of the two systems are discussed in relation to the theory developed by Inoue et al.

    We consider a bilayer version of the extended t-J model, with a view to computing the form of certain experimentally observable properties. Using the slave-boson decomposition, we show at the mean-field level that in the bilayer system the existence of in-plane d-wave singlet pairing excludes any interplane singlet order for reasonable values of the interplane superexchange parameter. Restricting the analysis to the regime of no interplane singlet pairing, we deduce parameter sets reproducing the Fermi surfaces of YBCO- and BSCCO-like bilayer systems. From these we calculate the form of the dynamic susceptibility χ(q, , ω) in both systems, and of the anomalies in frequency and linewidth of selected phonon modes in YBCO. We compare the results with experiment, and discuss the features which differ from the single-layer case.

    A hydrodynamical description for vortex states in type II superconductors is presented based on the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equation (TDGL). In contrast to the familiar extension of a single vortex dynamics based on the force balance, our description is consistent with the known hydrodynamics of a rotating neutral superfluid and correctly includes informations on the Goldstone mode. Further it enables one to examine nonlocal conductivities perpendicular to the field in terms of Kubo formula. Typically, the nonlocal conductivities deviate from the usual vortex flow expressions, as the nonlocality parallel to the field becomes weaker than the perpendicular one measuring a degree of positional correlations, and, for instance, the superconducting contribution of dc Hall conductivity nonlocal only in directions perpendicular to the field becomes vanishingly small in the situations with large shear viscosity, leading to an experimentally measurable relation ρxy-- ρ2xx among the resistivity components. Other situations are also discussed on the basis of the resulting expressions.

    We have studied the magnetic phase diagrams of the dense Kondo compounds CeB6 and Ce0.5La0.5B6 by use of low temperature ultrasonic measurements. A transition associated with a quadrupolar reorientation has clearly been observed around 1, kOe in the antiferroquadrupolar phase II of CeB6. In the paramagnetic phase I of Ce0.5La0.5 B6 a crossover from the ordinaly Γ8 ground state to the Kondo singlet state has been found. The field induced transition from the Kondo singlet state to the antiferromagnetic phase III or the phase II has been found at a critical field 17, kOe. The field angle dependence of the phase diagram of Ce0.5La0.5B6 is also presented.
