    Motion of discrete surfaces (triangulate surfaces) in 3-dimensional space is discussed. A set of formulae, corresponding to to the Gauss-Weingarten equation and the Gauss-Codazzi equations, is presented to represent the discrete surface. The kinematical relation for the velocity yields a differential-difference equation for the “ normal curvature''.

    The Dunkl operator is constructed based on the Yang-Baxter equation.We regard the R- and K-matrix, which satisfy the Yang-Baxter equation and th boundary Yang-Baxter equation, as operators acting on the functional space.In terms of these R- and K-operators acting on the functional space.In terms of these R- and K-operators, the Dunkl operator with boundary is explicitly construction.

    Using Gaudin's model (Nucl. Phys. 85 (1966) 545), we study the asymptotic behavior of the number variance of quantum levels whose statistics is subject to a one-parameter family of the predicted distributions which lie in the Poisson and the circular unitary ensembles. It is shown that the variance function ∑ 2(S) for S>> 1 is a sum of a linear term and a logarithmic term, originating from the Poisson and the GUE (Gaussian unitary ensemble) results, respectively. The linearity of the leading term is attributed to Gaudin's treatment of the system as a compressible gas, thus verifying the prediction in a recent paper by Moshe, Neuberger and Shapiro (Phys. Rev. Lett. 73 (1994) 1497). A possibility of alternative treatment for incompressible gases is discussed.

    We study an interacting particle system with parity conservation for the number of particles, which exhibitits a continuous phase transition. Using Padé approximants for the survival probability, we obtain critical probability pc=0.3585± 0.0021 and critical exponent β =0.97± 0.08. The results show that the model belongs to a universality class different from that of directed percolation.

    By combining the concepts of pycnonuclear reactions at low temperatures and their enhancement due to strong internuclear Coulomb correlations, we predict the possibilities of a novel scheme for fusion in ultrahigh-pressure liquid-metallic hydrogen near the freezing conditions, for the reactions 2H(p, , γ )3He, 3H(d, , n)4He, and 7Li(p, , α )4He. Time evolution is followed for p-d reaction after a pulsed compression with 1, kJ input and the initial conditions of mass density≈ 20, g/cm3, temperature≈ 1400, K, pressure≈ 490, Mbar, and radius≈ 0.017, cm; an energy yield of 33, kJ in 0.03, fs is thus predicted.

    Quasi-two-dimensional vortex pairs induced by the Lorentz force due to an electrolytic current interacting with a moving magnetic field were investigated using a flow visualization technique. Steady symmetric vortex pairs were found to form in a limited range of Reynolds number and reduced Lorentz force. It was also found that at large values of the force periodic vortical wakes are formed with the Strouhal number of about 0.1.

    Ferroelectric 180° domain structures of CsH2PO4 (CDP) and (NH2CH2COOH)3· H2SO4 (TGS) have been observed in unelectroded b plates using the secondary emission mode of a scanning electron microscope (SEM). It is found that a lamellar domain structure is formed in CDP. The lamellar structure shows the fine periodicity along the normal to the walls nearly parallel either to the (100) plane or to the (801) plane. The periodic pattern corresponds to the first prefractal domain pattern that is characterized by the first prefractal of the pentad Cantor set. It is also revealed that the lamellar domain structure of TGS is observed to be the first prefractal domain pattern. The SEM observations establish that the prefractal domain patterns first dis-covered in KDP are common to the lamellar 180° domain structures which areformed in proper ferroelectrics under the influence of depolarization fields.CDP, TGS, ferroelectric domain, SEM, fractal, Cantor set, depolarization field, surface energy density

    The phase transition mechanism of KDCO3 crystal composed of hydrogen-bonded (DCO3)2-dimers has been studied by neutron scattering. Strong quasielastic diffuse scattering is observed above Tc. From detailed analysis of the intensity distribution in a wide range of the reciprocal space, the following conclusions are drawn. (i) Even at T>Tc, the individual dimer is already deformed by the self-trapping of deuterons within the hydrogen bond, thus locally breaking the symmetry of the averaged lattice. (ii) The inter-dimer interaction takes place via the strain field induced by the independent deformed dimers. The structural phase transition in KDCO3 is triggered by this strain-mediated indirect interaction between the dimers.

    The one-particle spectral weight of the two-dimensional Hubbard model is studied in the t-matrix approximation. A single quasi-particle peak is obtained in the spectrum so that the quasi-particle picture holds in the t-matrix approximation, while in the second-order perturbation (H. Fukuyama and M. Ogata: J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. 63 (1994) 3923) it is concluded that splitting of the spectral weight occurs.

    Anomalous properties in U and Np monopnictides are explained based on the orbit split Hartree-Fock-type 5f band model. In particular, the de Haas-van Alphen measurement in USb in the 3k magnetic order is explained very well in the present model accompanied by a strong electron-hole nesting, which is consistent with a strong increase in resistivity and very small electronic specific heat in the 3k ordering region.

    Fluctuations of both charge density and spin density around the mean-fields of the spin density wave (SDW) state have been studied by calculating collective modes inthe case of one-dimensional quarter-filled band and arbitrary magnitude of the inter-action. It is shown that the coexistence of the 2kF-SDW with the 4kF-charge densitywave is crucial for the commensurability energy and the collective mode of the density fluctuation.

    The ground state as well as low-lying excitations in a 2D electron system in strong magnetic fields and a parabolic potential is investigated by the variational Monte Carlo method. Trial wave functions analogous to the Laughlin state are used with the power-law exponent as the variational parameter. Finite size scaling of the excitationenergy shows that the correlation function at long distances is characterized by a non-universal exponent in sharp contrast to the standard Laughlin state. The Laughlin-type state becomes unstable depending on the strength of the confining potential.

    Angular dependence of magnetoresistance of a quasi-one-dimensional organic superconductor, (DMET)2I3 has been measured at 4.2, K for magnetic fields up to 7.0, T. For the field of 1.0, T, the angular dependence of the magnetoresistance is smooth over the entire range of angles, reflecting the quasi-one-dimensional band structure of the salt. When the magnetic field of 7.0, T was rotated in the most conducting ab plane, the magnetoresistance for the current along both the b- and c*-axes showed discontinuous changes in its slope at the angles of ± 15° from the most conducting axis. The anomaly occurring at 7.0, T is considered to be due to a change in electronic state induced by the magnetic field almost perpendicular to the quasi-1D Fermi surface.

Structures of stabilized phase boundaries at ν =1 and ν =2 are discussed based on many-body enhancement of valley- and Zeeman-splitting, respectively.

    Charge-fluctuation-mediated superconductivity in the simplest d-p model is investigated using the auxiliary boson method together with the 1/N-expansion theory. The transition temperature Tc is determined by solving the Eliashberg equation derived for the pairing interaction including the full momentum and frequency dependence. The pairing state with the highest Tc has an extended s-symmetry described mainly by the on-site and the nearest-neighbor pairings. While the pairing interaction is repulsive over almost the entire momentum space, the frequency dependence, i.e., the retardation effect, is essential to realize such a superconducting state. The order of magnitude of Tc is estimated to be \le230, K with a reasonable set of the parameters, which means that the charge fluctuation plays a crucial role in the system.

We apply conformal field theory analysis to the Bethe-ansatz solution of these models, and compute bulk susceptibilities and critical exponents. The universal formulas obtained for critical exponents can be applied to nonintegrable spin and electron models with two-band structure.

    We report neutron scattering as well as ac susceptibility studies on the formation of magnetic ordering in a quasi-1D ferromagnetic chain system CoNb2O6 in magnetic fields up to 600, Oe. At T=1.5, K, a noncollinear ferrimagnetic (FR) phase with up-up-down spin arrangement along the b axis is field-induced in the magnetic field above -- 300, Oe. Interestingly, the pronounced 2D magnetic character previously found in the noncollinear antiferromagnetic phase disappears in the FR phase. This is direct evidence that the 2D magnetic character is due to the cancellation of interchain exchange fields at an apex site of a 2D isosceles-triangular lattice where quasi-1D ferromagnetic chains lie.

    A measurement of the magnetic form factor of a ferromagnetic actinide compound of UTe with circularly polarized X-rays is reported. The present geometrical configuration of the measurement gives a form factor of L(k)+0.3S(k), where L(k) andS(k) are the form factors of the orbital and the spin magnetic moment, respectively.We have combined the X-ray magnetic form factor with the neutron one which gives L(k)+2S(k) (G. Busch et, al.: J. Phys. C 12 (1979) 1391), and have deduced L(k) and S(k) separately. The obtained profiles of L(k) and S(k) show that the orbital and the spin magnetic moments are spatially spread out more than those calculated for a free uranium ion.

    We study a site-random Ising (SRI) model in two dimensions (2D) using a Monte Carlo method. It is found that the Binder parameter gL's for different sizes of the lattice L come together at almost the same temperature as in the ± J model in 3D. Finite-size scaling analyses give results which are compatible with the assumption of a finite, nonzero transition temperature (Tc≠ 0), although the scaling temperature range is not large. We suggest that in the SRI model a spin glass (SG) phase transition occurs at Tc≠ 0 even in 2D.

    One-dimensional quantum statistics has been studied at the limit of isotropic exchange interaction in the unpaired electron system of a ferromagnetic organic radical crystal, 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-1, 5-diphenyl-6-oxoverdazyl. The characteristic field dependence of the magnetic heat capacity of this crystal is quantitatively explained by the theoretical values derived from the Bethe-ansatz technique applied to the quantum transfer matrix, with a unique intrachain exchange constant J/kB=5.5, K. By the simultaneous measurement of magnetic susceptibility and heat capacity, the three-dimensional ordering at Tc=0.21, K, which is triggered by a weak interchain coupling | zJ'| /kB=3× 10-2, K, is confirmed.

    The magnetic properties of triangular lattice S=3/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet CsVCl3 were studied by DC magnetic susceptibility and ESR measurements using reliable pure samples free from Curie-like paramagnetic contributions at low temperatures. At TN=14.0± 0.2, K, susceptibility exhibited the second-order transition which corresponds to a three-dimensional order with triangular spin arrangement. A spin-freezing phenomenon similar to that of spin glasses was observed below Tf=7.5, K. This behavior suggests that the ground state is not a simple 120° Néel state.

    We develop an approximation for the optical potential in a solid valid at intermediate energies, i.e., above about 50, eV. The present approximation for the optical potential is based on GW-expression. We separate the RPA polarization propagator into a core-electron and a valence-electron part, and can then achieve a corresponding separation of the optical potential. We apply this method to electron-He elastic scattering, and we find satisfactory agreement with the observed results. We also study the importance of self-consistency, and the sensitivity to a parameter, average excitation energy.

    The difference in 4f photoemission spectrum (PES) for rare earths (RE) Nd, Gd and Dy under off-resonance and various on-resonance conditions near the 3d core threshold is discussed on the basis of an ionic model assuming trivalence. For the resonant process passing through a higher-energy intermediate state of both 3d5/2 and 3d3/2 regions, the spectral intensity in higher (lower) binding energy multiplets of 4f PES is shown to be enhanced (suppressed) compared with off-resonance spectra. This tendency is especially remarkable for Gd and heavier rare earths. An intuitive interpretation for this tendency is presented and a control of photoexcitation by tuning photon energy, which may be compared to that using a polarized photon, is shown to be feasible.

    A new class of localized solitary signals is investigated on a coupled nonlinear transmission line, which consists of two LC ladder lines connected by intermediary capacitors. Actually, these localized solitary excitations correspond to configurations where electric signal voltages on nearest-neighbour electric cells of each LC ladder line oscillate out of phases with each other, at the same frequency. Thus, it is found that they are stationary nonlinear asymmetric waves, whose amplitudes and widths depend on characteristic parameters of the circuit. The explicit envelope functions which are appropriate for coupled system with finite lengths are also found.

    We analyze nonlinear waves in layered (anisotropic) structures with strong interlayer interaction. One of the important physical examples of nonlinear modes in such structures is the so-called supersolitons, localized excitations of the density of a vortex lattice propagating in a system of interacting (parallel) long Josephson junctions. We show that the dynamics of these structures may be described by the so-called sine-lattice (SL) equation first introduced by S. Takeno and S. Homma [J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. 55 (1986) 65] and its various generalizations, e.g. those which include a transverse degree of freedom or more general types of the interlayer (nonlinear) interactions described by periodic Jacobi elliptic functions. We analyze nonlinear localized waves in such generalized SL equations analytically and numerically, and show that, in general, density waves may be of three types, namely kinks, dynamical solitons, and envelope solitons. We investigate also the transverse stability of quasi-one-dimensional solitons in the framework of the effective modified Boussinesq equation valid for both small amplitudes and continuous approximation, as well as investigate numerically the effects of perturbations (dissipation or point-like impurities) on the dynamics of π -kinks.

    Dual nature of the existence of localized modes in pure nonlinear lattices is shown as the intrinsic properties of the lattices that cannot be shared with their continuum counterpart. This is a coexistence, for given nonlinearity, of low-and high-frequency localized modes appearing above and below, respectively, of the frequency band of the corresponding linear lattices. As a typical example, this is illustrated for breatherlike mode solutions to sine-lattice equations and discrete sine-Gordon equations using approximate analytical solutions. The duality concept is put into firmer basis by showing the coexistence of such two types of localized modes for exact envelope soliton solutions to the Ablowitz-Ladik equations and for approximate analytical solutions with numerical testing for moving nonlinear localized modes in one-dimensional lattices with hard quartic anharmonicity.

    A new type of the dissipative Jaynes-Cummings model is presented. Interaction between a composite relevant system and a reservoir is introduced to modulate the coupling constant in the relevant system. A quantal master equation is obtained with use of the time convolutionless (TCL) projection operator formalism and is expanded in terms of eigenstates of the composite relevant system. The resulting basic equations become solvable and can be used irrespective of the interaction strength between the relevant subsystems. Moreover, these equations give the correct equilibrium values in each subspace. Several explicit numerical calculations are done.

    The upper bounds on order parameters of the d-dimensional diffusive contact processes with stirring rate D≥ 0 are obtained by using Harris lemma. Our result generalizes bounds on the d-dimensional basic contact processes---that is, D=0, by Katori and Konno.

    The experimentally determined electro-optic Kerr constant values of some homologous series of organic liquids belonging to Ketone, Aldehyde and Nitriles are combined with the molecular refraction data of these liquids to compute the anisotropic electronic polarizabilities in the ground state. These values are found to be fairly in good agreement with those values reported in literature. The polarizability values are found to be increasing in each homologous series with increasing chain-length by CH2 intervening groups. This fact has been supported by the predominant nature of the inductive effect that arises due to the structural changes of the molecules in these series.

    Thermal instability of a fluid in a finite rectangular box is investigated, assuming the flow field to be two-dimensional. The horizontal plates are assumed to be rigid and perfectly thermal conducting. Three cases of boundary conditions for the vertical side walls are considered, which are rigid and perfectly conducting, rigid and perfectly insulating, and stress free and perfectly insulating boundary conditions. The critical condition of the linear stability of the motionless state is obtained for various aspect ratios of the box. It is concluded that the stability characteristics are very different between the cases of rigid and stress free side walls. Asymptotic expressions of the critical Rayleigh number are obtained for very wide and very narrow boxes respectively. The Moffatt vortices are confirmed up to the second.

    Finite amplitude steady solutions for convections between two concentric spheres under the effects of differential rotation and temperature difference between the spheres are obtained and their linear stability is investigated numerically. Under the assumption of axisymmetry about the axis of rotation, the solutions are classified into the symmetric solution and the asymmetric solution with respect to the equator. It is found that the symmetric solution consists of the upward solution and the downward solution which have different flow profiles, rates of heat transfer between two spheres. A perfect pitchfork bifurcation is observed for the asymmetric solution, whereas an imperfect pitchfork bifurcation is observed for the symmetric solution, as the rate of the differential rotation is increased.

    The criterion of sheath formation in a plasma containing negative ions have been investigated for the case with an injected electron beam. It has been found that at a constant negative ion density ratio the sheath edge potential and the positive ion flux increase with the relative electron beam density. From the balance between the flux of negative charged particles and the positive ion flux, the floating potential of a substrate immersed in the plasma is calculated based upon the above sheath theory. It has been found that the floating potential of an insulating substrate is variable with the relative electron beam and negative ion densities in a wide range. This means that in an etching plasma the substrate potential can be controlled by injecting a low density electron shower.

    Soliton-like excitations with frequencies in the gap and near the gap of linear spectrum are considered for diatomic chain with small mass difference. The chains with the additional quartic anharmonic potential of nearest-neighbor interaction and quartic nonlinear interaction with external elastic substratum (on-site potential) are studied. It is shown that the localized excitations represent the complicated combination of solitons of acoustic and quasi-optical branches of the spectrum. Gap solitons are studied with the help of the methods of qualitative analysis of dynamical systems and of the method of asymptotical expansions. It is shown that when the frequency of soliton changes a number of bifurcations of the soliton solutions takes place. The bifurcation picture is different for different forms of nonlinearity in diatomic chain and depend on relation between nonlinear interaction constants. Solitons with the frequencies out of the gap have the form of bound state of “ bright'' and “ dark'' solitons or dark soliton and soliton on the pedestal.

    A frequency and wave vector dependent dielectric function of α -AgI is studied by using a phonon description based on a modified Hubbard-Beeby theory. The frequency dependent dielectric function is characterized by a main LO phonon peak and a sub LA phonon peak. The frequency spectrum for the dielectric function is consistent with those for the ac conductivity and the charge density dynamical structure factor of α -AgI.

    An intermolecular semiempirical 6-exp potential model has been used to calculate the lattice dynamics of 4-4'-dichlorodiphenylsulphone allowing for molecular flexibility with three internal degrees of freedom which are taken into account using an intramolecular potential function. The calculated Raman and infrared frequencies are in agreement with the available experimental data and the analysis of the polarization vectors allows us to characterize the experimental spectra. A soft-mode branch with a minimum at q=0.80, b* appears which could explain the transition to the incommensurate phase where the modulation can be described with a wave vector of 0.78, b* at 90, K. The soft-mode eigenvector is compared with the modulation displacements of the incommensurate phase and the influence of the anticrossing behaviour which shows the soft branch near its minimum is discussed.

    Recent time-of-flight experiments show a non-monotonous dependence of the dissociative adsorption/sticking* probability of D2(H2)/Cu(111) on the initial rotational state. There is an observed decrease in the sticking probability with a slight increase in the initial rotational state quantum number j. As j is increased further, the sticking probability eventually increases. We show that, to account for this interesting behaviour, there are two opposing factors working for and against the adsorption process: STEERING EFFECT and ENERGY TRANSFER EFFECT. The first is dueto a dynamical reorientation of the molecule, and the latter is due to the coupling of therotational motion to the translational motion along the reaction path. To illustrate these two effects, we performed quantum mechanical model calculations using a variation of the coupled-channel method, a physically realistic model potential based on available potential energy (hyper-) surface plots for D2(H2)/Cu for two different orientations-parallel and perpendicular to the surface, and the concept of a reaction path.

    Optical study of trivalent 3d transition metal oxide compounds RMO3 with perovskite-type structure has revealed the variation of their electronic structures with the 3d element M and rare earth element R. The low energy feature is governed by electronic states in the M-O network. The charge gap, either of the Mott type or charge-transfer type, is observed for a series of RMO3 compounds, except for metallic LaNiO3 and LaCuO3 compounds. The charge gap systematics has been accounted for in terms of a simple ionic model. However, the deviation from the ionic model is magnified in narrow gap compounds, where the M, 3d-O, 2p mixing appears to reshuffle the electronic states. The variation of the covalent nature of the M-O network in the RMO3 compounds is also discussed in terms of the shell-model analysis of the phonon spectra.

    The temperature dependence of polarized infrared reflectance spectra was investigated on the single crystal of (Me2DCNQI-d7)2Cu whose electrical resistivity was continuously monitored by the four-probe method. Above 77, K, the resistivity decreases on lowering the temperature, and the reflectance spectra exhibit Drude-like dispersion for both polarizations parallel and perpendicular to the crystallographic c-axis. Between 77, K and 75, K, the resistivity increases more than 106 times that of 77, K, and the reflectance spectra exhibit drastic change suggesting dimensionality crossover from a three-dimensional conductor into a one-dimensional insulator. Based on the reflectivity data it was concluded that the metal-insulator transition in this salt is accompanied by discontinuous formation of CDW.

The influence of the metal atoms appears distinctly on the P Kβ fluorescence emission spectra. The measured spectra are compared with available X-ray emission and XPS valence-band spectra and theoretical energy-band calculations on a common energy scale. It is shown that considerable p-d, s mixing occurs in the valence bands of the 3d transition-metal phosphides and the P 3p states mix fairly with the P 3s states in the valence bands of red phosphorus, Gap and InP

    The hole numbers at Cu and oxygen sites in the CuO2 plane in a wide variety of high-Tc materials have been extracted from the measured nuclear quadrupole frequency, ν Q. The hole number in the Cu-3dx2-y2 orbit, nx2-y2, is found to be more than 0.85 in La2-xSrxCuO4 (x=0.075-- 0.24), while decreases to 0.74 in Tl2Ba2Ca2Cu3O10. Thus estimated nx2-y2 is supported by the result that the orbital Knight shift along the c-axis, Kcorb, increases in proportion to nx2-y2. In contrast to the decrease of nx2-y2, the hole number in the O-2pσ orbit, n_pσ, increases in going from the La- to the Tl-systems. It has been found that Tc is determined by two parameters about holes, i.e., nx2-y2+2n_pσ and nx2-y2/2n_pσ . The former tells the microscopic “ doping level'' of the CuO2 plane, while a smaller nx2-y2/2n_pσ results in a weaker antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations of low energy. It has been found that not only a proper nx2-y2+2n_pσ but also a sufficiently small nx2-y2/2n_pσ (~= 1) are needed to obtain a high value of Tc.

    The electronic energy band structures for BaNiS2 and BaCoS2, which are considered as highly correlated layered structure systems, have been calculated by using the scalar-relativistic full-potential linearized augmented plane wave (FLAPW) method within the local-density approximation. The result of the calculation suggests that both compounds are compensated metals. It is found that the calculated Fermi surfaces of both compounds have three-dimensional characters.

    In the presence of the magnetic field the quasi-one dimensional system with the open fermi surface is essentially one dimensional. In the one-dimensional picture the effective interaction is shown to depend on the magnetic field and the two-dimensional momentum. The amplitude of the effective interaction depends on the magnetic field, resulting in the successive transitions to the field-induced spin density wave. The quantum Hall effect is explained by the momentum dependence of the effective interaction. The effect of the alternating potential is also studied.

    Physical properties of quasi two-dimensional electrons of BaCo1-xNixS2 which exhibits the Mott metal-insulator transition are reported. Various anomalous behaviors which are similar to those of high-Tc Cu oxides have been found. It is suggested that these anomalies are induced in the metallic and magnetically correlated state without long range order and therefore with very strong low energy magnetic fluctuations. It remains unclear if the system exhibits a decreasing tendency of the electronic specific heat coefficient γ upon approaching the Mott insulating phase, which is one of the remarkable anomalous behaviors of high-Tc oxides. Superconductivity has not been found down to 1.4, K.

    The temperature dependence of the local structure in epitaxial YBa2Cu3O7-δ thin film has been studied by polarized extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) on the Cu K-edge. The results suggest that the local lattice anomalies occur not only at Tc but also well above Tc. The mean-square relative displacements for the two out-of-plane Cu--O bonds (Cu1--O4, Cu2--O4) simultaneously increased at Tc. The in-plane Cu--O bonds showed the anomalous decrease of dynamical disorder below 120, K-- 1.5Tc followed by a sharp increase at Tc which saturates at lower temperature, consistent with other lattice anomalies or dynamical spin susceptibilities observed at -- 1.5Tc. These suggest that the anomaly in in-plane oxygen atom vibrations below 1.5Tc is caused by the coupling between lattice distortions and magnetic excitations. The correlated displacement of apical oxygen atoms may induce a bilayer coupling associated with a charge transfer.

    We analyze theoretically a domain wall structure associated with time reversal symmetry breaking in an unconventional superconducting pairing function. The doubly degenerate states necessarily form domain wall boundary where two kinds of randomly created degenerate states meet in a sample, giving rise to spatially varied magnetic field across it and associated screening current along it. This non-uniform field yields the anomalous increase of the muon spin relaxation time recently observed in a heavy Fermion material UPt3 below the second transition temperature.
