    The relationship between level statistics and the correlation hole inthe survival probability function in generic chaotic systems isinvestigated. It is shown that the depth and the area of the holemeasure the long- and short-range correlations of levels, respectively. Two models of level statistics, namely the Gaudin modeland an independent superposition of circular unitary ensembles, areanalyzed as examples for systems intermediate between chaos andintegrability.

    Following the definition of Haldane's exclusion statistics, we proposea new and simple representation of the spectrum and the state countingof the quantum Calogero model. We show that N non-interactingparticles with statistical interactions confined in an externalharmonic well give exactly the same energy spectrum and the samedegeneracy as those of the N-particle quantum Calogero model. We alsoshow that this picture exactly corresponds to the generalized idealgas, which was introduced by Bernard and Wu.

    Near-infrared radiation from a field-reversed-configuration (FRC)plasma is observed during the stable phase using optical fibertubes. Internal structure of the FRC is estimated from an Abelinversion of the radiation intensities which are obtained from thevertical array of the fibers. It is confirmed that the structure has aconcaveform at the core region of the plasma column, as expected fromprevious FRC stud-ies. The axial array of the fibers shows that the separatrix boundaryis similar in shape to a racetrack when the FRC is long, extending tomirror regions of the confining field, and elliptical for a shortFRC. The equilibrium shape of the separatrix which is calculated usinga two-dimensional code also changes from elliptical to racetrack-likewith increase of the length in the mirror field, as observed in theexperiment.

    We propose a fast numerical renormalization group method-the productwave function renormalization group (PWFRG) method-for 1D quantumlattice models and 2D classical ones. A variational wave function, which is expressed as a matrix product, is improved through aself-consistent calculation. The new method has the same fixed pointas the density matrix renormalization group method.

    The level statistics in two dimensional disordered electron systems inmagnetic fields(unitary ensemble) or in the presence of strong spin-orbit scattering(symplectic ensemble) are investigated at the Anderson transitionpoints. The level spacing distribution functions P(s) are found to beindependent of the system size or of the type of the potentialdistribution, suggesting universality. They behave as s2 in thesmall s region in the former case, while increase proportional tos4 is seen in the latter.

    Three decades ago, the quantum Langevin equation (Mori formula) wasused to reformulate the linear response theory (Kubo formula). Sincethen, the Mori formula has often been used to evaluate transportcoefficients, but only within the Born approximation. In the presentstudy, we obtain a rigorous expression for the transport coefficientsas a series expansion in terms of the projection operator. We thenevaluate the optical conductivity for a free electron system withimpurity scattering in order to discuss the mutual consistency betweenthe Mori formula and the Kubo formula.

    It has been observed in experiments that the pronounced oscillationstructure in the magnetoresistance of a square antidot lattice isdrastically affected by an anisotropic deformation of the lattice. Weperform a numerical simulation on an anisotropic antidot lattice andobserve expected behavior in the magnetoresistivities. We discuss howthe classical theory of electron motion in an antidot lattice canexplain the observed anisotropy effect.

    Magnetization, M, of EuS and Eu1-xSrxS (x≤ 0.4) was measuredbelow 90 K in an external magnetic field up to 150 kOe. It is shownthat M in the paramagnetic region is well expressed by a Brillouinfunction for S=7/2, with an effective field H+λ M. Even attemperatures below asymptotic Curie temperature, magnetizationapproaches the Brillouin function with increasing fieldstrength. Moreover, it is found that magnetization scaled by(T-Tc)b can be expressed as a universal function of magneticfield scaled by (T-Tc)b+c. Here, Tc is the ferromagneticCurie point. Scaling exponents, b and c, are very different from thosein the critical region. The exponent c is about 1.15 and independentof x whereas b is 0.14 for EuS and decreases rapidly with increasingx, proportionally to Tc.

From the perturbation expansion and quantum Monte Carlocalculations, the origin of the spin gap is ascribed to the four-siteplaquette singlet in contrast to the dimer gap established in thegeneralized dimerized Heisenberg model.

    The quasi c33 acoustic mode of ferroelectric TGS is observed byimpulsive stimulated Brillouin scattering. The mode is excited bypicosecond laser pulses at 500 MHz and 2.0 GHz and its vibrationalbehavior is probed in real time. The temperature dependence of thevelocity of the mode shows an anomaly through a piezoelectric couplingwith the fluctuating polarization below the transition temperatureTc. The relaxation time τ 0 of the order of 10-10 s·deg is obtained which is longer than these reported in the previousBrillouin scattering and the ultrasonic studies.

Systematic change of the charge-transfer gap (Egap)with the 3d element (M) can be explained by a simple ionic model. Thespectrum below -- 7 eV is found to be strongly M-dependent, and isinterpreted in terms of multiplet splitting of the final 3dN+1state.

    To analyze the generalized Brownian motion, i.e. the{fractional} Brownian motion, we propose a path integral which isgoverned by the modified action along the principal path with fractalnatures, i.e. mainly observable path in a diffusive phenomena. Bymodified the definition of the action and summing over fractal paths, the path integral is derived. We investigate several properties ofthis integral. The principal path has a fractal structure and the pathintegral represents the transition probability of the fractionalBrownian motion. The transition probability itself has no dependenceon the structure of principal paths. The path integral is mainlycharacterized by two parameters, the Hausdorff dimension DH ofprincipal paths representing a microscopic structure and the Hurstcoefficient H representing a macroscopic structure, which areindependent of each other.

    A narrow electromagnetic beam propagating parallel to anexternal magnetic field in a plasma is considered theoretically. Thetheory assumes that the plasma pressure is larger than theelectromagnetic one. It is found that under the paraxial approximationthe beam having a Gaussian cross section can propagate. The Rayleighrange is enlarged or shortened depending on the dielectriccoefficients of the plasma. The beam is either right- or left-handpolarized and both modes have the longitudinal component of theelectric field as the Gaussian beam does in vacuum. The phasevelocities can become less than the light velocity c for some plasmaparameters for which those velocities of the plane R- and the L-wavesare always greater than c.

    Velocity profiles for unsteady pulsatile laminar flows ofviscoelastic non-Newtonian conducting fluids through a channel havederived using the perturbation method. The induced magnetic field andwall shear have been obtained. The effects of pulsation, elasticityand the magnetic parameter on the velocity, induced magnetic field andwall shear are discussed. Results are illustrated numerically andgraphically. It is found that amplitude of the pulsation increases thevelocity distribution which would be obtained under steady flowconditions at the same mean pressure gradient. The effect of both themagnetic and elasticity parameters decrease the velocitydistribution. Also the properties of the fluid on the induced magneticfield and the skin-friction are discussed.

    MHD equilibrium and stability of LHD (Large HelicalDevice) are studied when circular plane magnetic axis is distortedinto spatial helical one by introducing unbalance between two helicalcoil currents. The helical axis effect increases rotational transformwith enhancing magnetic hill at zero beta, where beta is the ratio ofplasma pressure to magnetic pressure. The significant effect ofhelical magnetic axis is reduction of average radius of the outermostflux surface or elimination of edge region with large magnetichill. For finite beta plasmas this reduction of average plasma radiushas substantial stabilizing effect on pressure driven MHD modesthrough enhancement of magnetic well produced by both Shafranov shiftand helical shift of magnetic axis. However, by comparing the helicalaxis configuration of LHD to planer axis configuration with the sameradius produced by using limiter, the change of equilibrium andstability due to the helical axis is found weak in the LHD case. Themerit of the helical axis configuration is controllability of averageplasma radius without limiter.

    Soft X-rays generated with a gas-puff pinch device is characterizedusing a pinhole camera which enables a quantitative intensitymeasurement, a Bragg imaging spectrometer and an X-ray diode. Aneutral argon shell whose line density was 8.1× 1017 atoms/cm(M=5.5× 10-5 g/cm) was formed between the electrodes. Thesoft X-rays were emitted for about 10 ns in the early stage of theplasma column formation. Highly localized and intense soft X-raysources, so-called hot spots, were observed in the pinched plasma. Theemitted energy was estimated to be 50± 15 J into 4π sr, for ArK-lines. The reproducibility of the X-ray emission are discussed.

    A plasma focus device with a fast acting valve is designedfor additional high z gas puff and is successfully operated to produceintense soft X-rays. Using the fast acting valve, high z gas isinjected to the pinch region just before the discharge to decouple theinitial phase for the current sheath formation from the pinchformation phase. Quantitative measurement of soft X-ray intensity andthe observation of the plasma behavior were simultaneously carried outfor the additional gas puff discharge and the conventional gas-filleddischarge. Experimental results show the enhancement of the soft X-rayemission in two order of the intensity.

    A plasma potential formation is investigated in acollisionless magnetized plasma flow in the presence of localizedradio-frequency electric fields. An extremely large-amplitude electronplasma wave is generated by applying an external rf potential to aring exciter surrounding the plasma column. Steep changes of electrondensity, temperature and potential along the plasma flow are observedin the region around the wave generation, where the waves arelocalized because of enhanced wave damping. The phenomena drasticallychange in accordance with the characteristics of electron-wavepropagation. The local potential hill and subsequent large potentialdrop observed are attributed to the ponderomotive force on electronsand the nonlinear electron acceleration due to enhanced wave damping, respectively. This claim is supported by calculations based onone-dimensional Poisson's equation including spatial variations of thecharged particles' velocity distribution functions which are stronglyaffected by the localized highly-nonlinear waves.

    Freezing of the hard spheres is re-examined using the modifiedweighted-density approximation (MWDA) of Denton and Ashcroft and thegeneralized effective-liquid approximation (GELA) of Lutsko andBaus. It is found that one owes part of success of these theories tothe use of the Percus-Yevick (PY) direct correlation function and thecorresponding equation of state of uniform fluids as the input data inthese theories. In fact, if one uses virtually “ exact'' inputdata in place of the PY ones, the free energies of the solid phase aresomewhat lowered and predicted freezing properties worsen. It isargued that this unfavorable feature of the MWDA and the GELA becomesmuch more serious when these theories are applied to the referencehard spheres in the thermodynamic perturbation approach to freezing ofsystems with long-ranged potentials.

    Systematic investigations are made of the thermodynamic perturbationapproach to freezing, which has proved successful for systemsinteracting through soft-core or long-ranged potentials. The classicalone-component plasma (OCP) is taken as the extreme case of suchsystems and the investigations focus on the reference systems employedin this approach and on the approximation schemes used to treat thatsystem. It is confirmed that good results are obtained for thefreezing properties of the OCP if a system with repulsive, short-ranged potential is properly chosen as the reference system, andboth this system and the remaining part due to the long-rangeinteraction are separately treated by the modified weighted-densityapproximation (MWDA) using accurate input data. However, if we adoptthe hard spheres as the reference system in this approach and useeither the MWDA or the generalized effective-liquid approximation(GELA) for this system, we cannot get similar results unless we usethe input data in the Percus-Yevick (PY) approximation rather than thevirtually “ exact'' ones. This unfavorable result throwsserious doubt on the usefulness of the hard spheres as the referencesystem.

    Heat capacity of K2ZnCl4 and K2SeO4 has beenmeasured using a high-resolution ac calorimeter. Critical behavior ofthe heat capacity anomalies associated with the normal-incommensurate(N-INC) phase transitions has been analyzed with the preasymptoticrenormalization-group expression which includes correction terms up tothe second order. It is revealed that the heat capacity anomalies ofK2ZnCl4 and K2SeO4 are described well with the threedimensional (3D) XY model; the critical exponent, the criticalamplitude ratio and the dimensionless ratio derived from thefirst-order correction terms agree well with the theoreticallyexpected values of 3D XY model. These results are consistent with ourprevious experimental result for Rb2ZnCl4 and the Cowley andBruce's prediction that the N-INC phase transition is classified intothe 3D XY system.

    The low-temperature phase transition in N(CD3)4MnCl3 (DTMMnC)has been studied by dielectric measurements. The transitiontemperature of DTMMnC is 126.4 K at zero pressure, which is almostunchanged from that of the normal compound N(CH3)4MnCl3(TMMnC). The effect of deuteration on the pressure-temperature phasediagram is also insignificant: the deuteration lowers the criticalpressure at which the pressure-induced phase (Phase III) appears byabout 10 MPa. The isotope-effect is compared with that in[N(CH3)4]2MnCl4-type compounds and discussed.

Thecalculated results for the binding energy and the structuralproperties are in good agreement with experiment. Reasonableevaluations have also been made for the charge and spin densitydistributions and the electron-electron radial distributionfunctions. Although the results for the one-particle energydistribution and the charge-transfer excitation energy gap areencouraging, further increase in Monte Carlo steps and improvements incomputational methods would be required for the detailed comparisonwith experiments and the most dependable density-functional bandcalculations.

    The electronic structures of a magnetic semiconductorCe3Au3Sb4 and the related materials, La3Au3Sb4 andPr3Au3Sb4, have been investigated by reflectivity andresonant photoemission spectra. From the resonant photoemissionspectra of Ce3Au3Sb4, the hybridization between the Ce4fstate and the Sb5p valence band was found to be weak. This result isconsistent with the electronic structure which is derived from theanalysis of the optical data about the energy gap. The experimentallydetermined electronic structure is compared with a band calculation ofLa3Au3Sb4. The unoccupied 4f state is concluded to be about3 eV above the Fermi level, which is higher by 2 eV than the resultof the band calculation. The exciton like absorption due to thetransition from 4f to 5d states was observed. The intra-atomic Coulombinteraction between 4f and 5d states is thought to play an importantrole.

    The dependence of the electrical conductivity on concentration forliquid Sn1-cSec alloys exhibited a sharp minimum and a broadmaximum at the composition c=0.5 and 2/3, respectively. The dependenceof the thermopower on concentration exhibited a typical { p-n} transitionat the stoichiometry SnSe. The electrical behaviour of liquidSn1-cSec alloys with c ≤0.3 was explained by the decrease in theconduction electrons due to the formation of chemical bonds between Snand Se ions. The conductivity and thermopower near the stoichiometrySnSe were analyzed by using the equations derived from theKubo-Greenwood formula. The conductivity gap was about 0 eV forliquid Sn--Se alloys near the stoichiometry.

    We investigated transport properties for incommensurate misfit layercompounds (CeS)1.19(TiS2)n (n=1, 2) with stage-1 and stage-2structures. Both materials showed metallic conduction. The Hall effectshowed that the electrical conduction is dominated by the electroncarriers for both compounds, while thermoelectric power of stage-1(CeS)1.19TiS2 had a positive value of +5 μV/K at roomtemperature. This proved that the two different energy bands overlapat EF of stage-1 (CeS)1.19TiS2. Detailed analysis of thethermoelectric power revealed the existence of short rangedomain-boundary phonon scattering process, where the mean free path isestimated to be of the order of 10 Å. This means that thelocal-lattice modulation induced by the incommensurate structure has aremarkable effect on the scattering process of the acoustic phonons aswell as the conduction electrons.

    Effects of electronic excitations are investigated on thetranslational energy distribution of ions scattered by metalsurfaces. Coupling between the translational motion of ion and degreesof freedom of metal electron system is taken into account explicitly, in the framework of model consisting of the non-interactingNewns-Anderson Hamiltonian for the electron system and translationalenergy of the ion. It is shown by perturbational calculation thatwithin the Born-Oppenheimer approximation (BOA), a logarithmicsingularity comes out in the energy distribution of ions scattered bymetal surfaces as a Fermi surface effect. Further, it is shown thatbeyond BOA this singularity is weakened by interplay betweenelectronic state transitions and state changes of ion motion duringscattering process.

    To investigate the magnetic performance of a hybrid structure oftransition metals, we consider the Fe3Pt/Fe system and examine theeffects both of the tetragonal distortion of L12 type Fe3Pt andthe hybridization with bcc-Fe on the magnetic properties, usingLMTO-ASA method in the framework of LSD. The magnetic moment ofFe3Pthas a maximum stationary value of 8.85 μ B/cell atc/a=1/√2. The hypothetical struc-ture of Fe20Pt4 is supposed by combining Fe3Pt of c/a=1/√2 and bcc-Fe lattice. It is predicted that the magnetizationreaches 2.27 T with the magnetic anisotropy constant of 11×105 J/m3. With using the coherent rotation model formagnetization reversal process, we get maximum energy product(BH)max=10.2 MJ/m3.

    The ground-state phase diagram of the S=1/2 XXZ laddermodel is investigated by using the density-matrixrenormalization-group method. This model is composed of two S=1/2 XXZchains with ferromagnetic rung couplings (λ ) and intra-chainanisotropy (Δ), and continuously changes from the twoindependent S=1/2 XXZ chains at λ =0 to the S=1 XXZ chain in thelimit of λ → ∞ . It is shown that there existedge states at Δ=1 and λ =1 in relation to thefour-fold degeneracy of the ground state and that an excitation gapopens nearly at λ =0 for 0.8≤ Δ≤ 1. In addition, it is clarified that the transition between the Haldane phase and theantiferromagnetic phase occurs at λ =1.15 ± 0.01 forΔ=1. A possible phase diagram in the λ -Δplane is proposed, which is consistent with the scaling analysis basedon the bosonization method.

    The logarithmic correction terms in the repulsive Hubbardchain is investigated by using the Bethe Ansatz. The magneticsusceptibility χ of this model has a field dependent logarithmiccorrection term in small magnetic field at zero-temperature. This termcauses ∂ χ /∂ h|_{h=0}=∞ . In arbitrary nand U the existence of the logarithmic correction term is shown forthe susceptibility. We consider how this term depends on n and U. Wealso discuss the logarithmic correction term of the super-symmetric t-J model.

    The Kondo effect due to U-type impurities is studied in connectionwith the stability of the Fermi liquid and the non-Fermiliquid. First, an effective exchange Hamiltonian in terms ofirreducible tensor operators is derived for conduction electrons, which are coupled with plural 5f electrons. It is based on theassumption of strong spin-orbit and Hund couplings. Second, a modelfor f2 configuration placed in a tetragonal or hexagonal crystalfield is studied by simplifying the internal structure as thenon-Kramers doublet ground state and the first singlet excitedstate. The numerical renormalization group analysis shows that thesinglet excited state plays an important role to stabilize the Fermiliquid over the non-Fermi liquid. Third, the difference of the Kondoeffect is examined between non-Kramers doublet for f2 and Kramersdoublet for f3 in the presence of the cubic crystal field. It isshown that for f3 the Hund coupling reduces the channel number toone, while the situation is different for f2.

    Neutron diffraction measurements were performed on CeAs under highpressure. Above the critical pressure, Pc=1.1 GPa, twomagnetically ordered phases appear. The ferromagnetic ordering isestablished in the upper temperature phase. The type-I ordering isestablished in the lower temperature phase in addition to theferromagnetic ordering, which brings about the canted spinstructure. The temperature dependence of the Bragg intensity of thetype-I ordering has a long tail above the Néel temperature. Theferromagnetic moment increases with increasing pressure, while theantiferromagnetic moment decreases particularly above 2.0 GPa. Thetotal magnetic moment, which is the expected Γ7 valuebelow Pc, decreases abruptly at Pc.

The observed relaxation wasinterpreted in terms of thermal fluctuations and freezing of themagnetic clusters which are supposed to exist in this substance.

The paramagnetism of the abdomen seems to develop not inthe pupal stage but after coming out of comb. Drones show noparamagnetism, but a queen bee seems to have some paramagnetic speciesin her abdomen.

    Magnetic properties of carbon nanotubes (CN's) are studied in a k·p model. In a magnetic field perpendicular to the tube axis, themagnetization is essentially determined by that of a graphite sheet, while it is induced also by the Aharonov-Bohm (AB) effect in aparallel field. The AB effect manifests itself in the magnetic-fieldand temperature dependence of the differential susceptibility even forensembles of CN's having various circumferences and orientations. Themagnetic properties depend also on carrier doping.

    We investigate temperature dependence of spin correlations in the one-dimen-sional Hubbard model at or close to half filling by the quantum MonteCarlo method. The numerical data are analyzed by introducing acrossover generated from an interplay of the intrinsic correlationlength and the thermal correlation length. It provides a unifiedpicture of the spin correlation of the metallic phase near the Mottinsulator at finite temperatures. Our results show that the crossover, not taken account by the conventional renormalization group and theconformal field theory, becomes more and more important to understandthe spin correlation near the Mott transition point.

    We measured the magnetic heat capacity, susceptibility andmagnetization of (CH3)4NCo(NO2)3 (TMCON) which is theiso-structural compound with the Haldane compound(CH3)4NNi(NO2)3 (TMNIN). From the analysis of thesethermodynamic properties, we found that TMCON is a one-dimensionalS=1/2 Ising system where the ferromagnetic nearest neighborinteraction J1 and the antiferromagnetic next-nearest neighborinteraction J2 are competing. The value of J1 is estimated to beJ1/kB=28.0± 4.0 K. It is confirmed that the results can becomprehensively explained only when we take J2<0, althoughJ2=-0.22J1 estimated from the thermal analysis differs fromJ2=-0.46J1 from the magnetic susceptibility for the powderedsample. Based on the results for TMCON, we discuss the stabilizationof the Haldane state in TMNIN, considering the frustration effectbetween J1 and J2.

    Hyperfine fields have been measured by the NMR spin-echo technique inzero external field at 4.2 K for intermetallic compoundsFe2Mn1-xVxSi and Fe2T1-xCrxSi (T=V, Mn). Theaverage Fe and Mn magnetic moments are derived using the relationsbetween the hyperfine fields and the atomic magnetic moments in theisomorphic compounds. These moments in Fe2Mn1-xVxSi increasemonotonically with increasing x; for Fe from 0.35μ B at x=0.2 to0.5μ B at x=0.75; and for Mn from 2.4μ B atx=0.2 to 3μB at x=0.8. The extrapolation to the V-rich side gives 0.5μB/Fe in Fe2VSi, which is consistent with an extrapolatedsaturation moment of 1.1μ B/f.u. The results inFe2T1-xCrxSi (T=V, Mn) are also discussed. From thesetogether with saturation moments the transition from a ferromagneticto an antiferromagnetic ordering on the V-rich side inFe2(Mn, V)Si and Fe2(V, Cr)Si is suggested.

    Slow dynamics in the ± J Ising model on a square lattice is studiedby means of Monte Carlo simulation, in which the distribution functionof (logarithms of) relaxation times, P(x) with x=ln τ, isobtained by analyzing individual spin auto-correlation functions oneby one. At each temperature in the \lsquo Griffiths phase', namely inthe range above the spin-glass transition temperature Tc (=0) butbelow the Curie temperature of the corresponding pure ferromagnetTpurec, P(x) exhibits a characteristic crossover behavior at aroundxc(=ln τ c) which diverges toward Tc. Thecontributionsto the branch x ≤ xc are interpreted due to the ordinary criticalslowing down process associated with Tc (critical dynamics). Thebehavior of P(x) at x≤ xc, on the other hand, is quite consistentwith the picture of relaxation processes of large, rare clustersrelated to the expected Griffiths singularity at Tpurec (clusterdynamics).

    The time response of photon-stimulated desorption (PSD) ofexcited-state alkali atoms from alkali halides has been investigatedwith synchrotron radiation pulses. It was found that the substancehaving a larger Rabin-Klick parameter shows a larger efficiency of thefast desorption. It was also found that there is a delay for the fastPSD, indicating the existence of the precursor state. It is proposedthat the fast desorption may be produced by electronic transition inthe surface layer, while the slow desorption may be due to the thermalinstability of surface defects.
