The richness of spatial structures of the diblock copolymer melts is demonstrated by the minimization of a free-energy functional of nonlocal type. The total chain length and the interface thickness are key factors in determining the morphology of the system, in addition to the constant mean curvature surface ansatz. We examine the transition between lamellar and double gyroid phases, in which the rhombohedral phase is also obtained in the weak segregation regime.

We investigate a coupled atom-cavity system in which a two-level atom is driven by a classical field. It is shown that the cavity mode, which is in a coherent state in the absence of its reservoir, can be squeezed via coupling to the reservoir. The squeezing effect is enhanced to some extent as the cavity damping rate is increased. In particular, we obtain an unusual optimal condition for the squeezing in which the pumping field is
inversely proportional to the damping rate.

We experimentally investigated the dynamical behavior of adhesive tape in peeling with emphasis on the emergence of slow and fast peeling motions. The dynamical-morphological phase diagram for peeled adhesive tape as a function of peel speed and spring constant was obtained. The spatiotemporal patterns of peeled adhesive were classified into four types: low-speed pattern, high-speed pattern, oscillatory pattern, and spatiotemporal intermittent pattern.

The coherent tubular vortices, which exist ubiquitously in turbulent flows and play central roles in turbulence dynamics, are visualized by the low-pressure vortices. Since many vortices move about randomly in a turbulent flow, it is not easy to track, by the naked eye, a particular vortex. Here we propose an automatic tracking scheme for low-pressure vortices which may be useful in investigating the dynamics and life history of individual vortices.

It is found that no enhancement of the density of states near the Fermi level occurs in either compound, unlike the case of homogeneous mixed-valence compounds. The thermopower of both systems is qualitatively interpreted using the two-carrier model of electrons and holes, consistently with the reported data of the Hall effect of EuPd

Doping dependences of T
N, T
C and T
SG (spin gap temperature) are, however, different from those in the hole-doped systems. These differences are due to the intrinsic nature of the ingap state, which have been shown in the d-p model. The ingap state is intimately related to the Zhang-Rice singlets in the hole-doped systems, while it corresponds to correlated d-electrons in the electron-doped systems.

An experimental phase diagram of the field-induced superconductivity in the λ-(BETS)
2FeCl
4 compound is theoretically reproduced by a combination of the Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) state and the Jaccarino-Peter mechanism. Semi-quantitative agreement is obtained in the presence of a very weak subdominant triplet pairing interaction between electrons with antiparallel spins, in addition to a dominant singlet pairing interaction. An order-parameter mixing effect enhances the FFLO state and plays an essential role in the semiquantitative agreement. As a possible origin of the small triplet component, pairing interactions mediated by spin fluctuations are proposed. It is argued that, in this mechanism of the pairing interactions, equal spin pairing interactions are much weaker than the antiparallel spin pairing interactions in the strong magnetic field, which is consistent with the lack of observation of equal spin state.

We propose and study new vehicular traffic flow models, incorporating the anticipation of the change in the car spacings ahead in the determination of the speed of the cars in each time step. Our models are based upon the Fukui and Ishibashi (FI) traffic flow model in which cars are allowed to move a maximum of M sites in each time step if spacing permits, together with a probabilistic delay for the cars moving at the maximum speed. By taking into account the anticipation in the change of car spacing due to movement of the car ahead, the present models give an enhanced traffic flux as compared to the FI model. The present models also give a fundamental diagram consisting of three phases - a feature consistent with traffic flow observations.

Quantized electromagnetic field inside a rectangular parallelepiped surrounded by perfectly conducting parallel walls is studied. The Casimir energy and the Casimir force at finite temperature are calculated by the mode summation method, and it is found that the sign of the Casimir force depend on both the shape of a cavity and the temperature. The temperature at which the Casimir force change from the attractive force to the repulsive force is shown as a function of the separation of walls. The correction of the Casimir force between perfectly conducting plates for the finite size effect is also considered.

168Lu reaction at 58.5 MeV and 62 MeV and populated high spin states up to 27 \hbar. On the basis of the X-γ gating procedure and excitation function measurements done at beam energies of 50, 55, 58.5, 60, 62 and 64 MeV, we could identify the γ-ray transitions belonging to
168Lu. The configurations of two strongly populated rotational bands (bands A and B) were based on our previous study and were examined by using the additivity relation for alignments. The configurations of two newly found rotational bands (bands C and D) were also assigned by the additivity relation. These identified configurations were confirmed by the Drissi's recipe and energy systematics of neighboring odd-odd nuclei. The configuration of bands A was assigned as K

The photoion spectrum of atomic potassium was measured over the 3s → np excitation region with the photoion time-of-flight method and monochromatized synchrotron radiation. An unusual spectrum with paired windows structure was found instead of a simple regular Rydberg series. Such subsidiary windows have not been observed in the 3s→ np resonances of Ar, which has a closed outer shell. Based on Dirac-Fock calculations, the dual window structure at 36.7 eV and at 37.4 eV was assigned to the 3s

In reversed field pinches (RFPs), edge fast electrons play some important roles in the energy transport and RFP dynamo. There have been here detailed measurements of electron currents and floating potential with electrostatic probes at the edge region, showing that field-aligned current is carried by superthermal electrons, which results in reversed toroidal current outside the reversal surface. The time evolution of radial electric field, which is estimated from that of floating potential measured with insertable probes with some assumptions, revealed that radially outward electric field is formed in about 100 μs. Given that the radial electric field is a result of superthermal electron diffusion in a stochastic magnetic field line, then the estimated diffusion coefficient agrees well with the numerically calculated values, which were obtained by using Monte-Carlo particle orbit calculation in combination with a 3-dimentional nonlinear MHD simulation. It is concluded that the radial electric field is formed by stochastic diffusion of superthermal electrons, which also play important roles in RFP dynamo.

Magnetic field lines and particle orbits were analyzed in the periphery of the Large Helical Device (LHD), which is called the chaotic field line region in this paper. The widths of the chaotic field line region were numerically identified for the standard LHD configuration with the magnetic axis position R
ax = 3.75 m and for an improved confinement configuration with R
ax = 3.6 m. It was found that the reflected particles include of what we have named chaotic particles and non-chaotic particles. Most of the reflected particles are mirror-confined with strong adiabaticity in the chaotic field line region. The remaining reflected particles, named type-A and type-B particles, are harmful to confinement. We found by detailed analysis of the vacuum magnetic field in the LHD that there exist loss canals that are the open intersections of |B| = const. and B · ∇ B = 0 with (B · ∇)
2B > 0. The type-A particles, which are deeply trapped in the intersections and exhibit non-chaotic behavior, are lost along the loss canal due to grad-B drift, and may cause a toroidal drift in the chaotic field line region. The type-B particles, which exhibit chaotic behavior, pass into and out of the last closed magnetic surface (LCMS), leading to cooling down of the core plasma through collisions with cold neutrals in the chaotic field line region. When field strengths at the inner and the outer edge of the LCMS are different, type-B particles are produced through constancy of the kinetic energy and the magnetic moment of the collisionless particles. It was also found that the standard LHD configuration, R
ax = 3.75 m, has both type-A and type-B particles, while there are virtually no such particles in the R
ax = 3.6 m configuration. In the latter configuration, there is no loss canal within the chaotic field region, and the field strengths at both edges of the LCMS are the same. It is therefore concluded that the improved LHD confinement with R
ax = 3.6 m over R
ax = 3.75 m is a result of reductions and/or removal of type-A and type-B particles.

In the course of studies on thermal properties of (DMe-DCNQI)
2Cu systems that exhibit a reentrant metal-insulator transition, we discovered a Schottky type of specific heat with a peak around 8 K. The peak value exceeds 25 J/mol·K. This type of anomaly is observed only on samples composed of molecules containing partially deuterated methyl groups, and was found to be originated from the rotation of deuterated methyl groups that occurs by quantum tunneling. From an analysis of the specific heat curve, we obtained information concerning the low lying energy level scheme of deuterated methyl group CH

The diagonal conductivity of two-dimensional electron systems in strong magnetic fields is derived in an analytical form by considering tunneling processes through a saddle point of the slowly-fluctuating potential in the high electron-temperature regime where the breakdown of the integer quantum Hall effect occurs. The calculation is made for a two-dimensional periodic potential modulation with a fixed amplitude equal to the Landau level separation. The electron-temperature dependence of the conductivity is mainly determined by the presence of an activation energy. It is found that an estimated value of the conductivity in the present model at even-integer filling factors is smaller by an order of magnitude than the experimental value in the integer quantum Hall effect breakdown regime.

The impurity problems within vortex cores of two-dimensional s-wave and chiral p-wave superconductors are studied numerically in the framework of the quasiclassical theory of superconductivity and self-consistent Born approximation under a trial form of the pair potential. The dispersion and impurity scattering rate (the inverse of the relaxation time) of the Andreev bound state localized in vortex cores are deduced from the angular-resoloved local density of states. The energy dependence of the impurity scattering rates depends on the pairing symmetry; particularly, in the chiral p-wave vortex core where chirality and vorticity have opposite sign and hence the total angular momentum is zero, the impurities are ineffective and the scattering rate is vanishingly small. Owing to the cancellation of angular momentum between chirality and vorticity, the chiral p-wave vortex core is similar to locally realized s-wave region and therefore non-magnetic impurity is harmless as a consequence of Anderson's theorem. The results of the present study confirm the previous results of analytical study [J. Phys. Soc. Jpn.

We have studied the electronic structure of MnSi, which shows a helical spin ordering below 30 K, by ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy. We have attempted to separate the spectra into surface and bulk components by considering the electron mean-free path and the thickness of the outermost atomic layer. The `bulk' spectra thus obtained are compared with the density of states given by band-structure calculation corrected for model self-energies and reasonable agreement was obtained. This indicates that both band structure and electron correlation effects are important to understand the physical properties of MnSi. The spectra in the entire valence-band region do not show appreciable temperature dependence, but the spectral weight in the vicinity of the Fermi level is slightly decreased with decreasing temperature, which we tentatively attribute to the exchange splitting of the Mn 3d bands.

X-ray diffraction measurements have been performed on a single crystal sample of the rare earth metal holmium. The temperature and magnetic field dependence of the c-lattice parameter was studied in detail below the Néel temperature of 132 K. Magnetic structural phase transitions were observed as a change in the c-lattice parameter. In addition, lattice modulations induced by the magnetic structure were investigated by observing satellite reflections. A model based on the exchange magnetostriction can explain these magnetostrictive behaviors. The magnetic structures which were used in the analysis were reproduced by the self-consistent mean field calculation. The model has explained the temperature and magnetic field dependence of the c-lattice parameter, as well as the behaviors of the wave number and the amplitude of the lattice modulation.

2 shows magnetic transitions at T
N = 15.9 K and T
t = 13.0 K. The magnetic structure of the ground state is a simple Ising-type antiferromagnetic one with a propagation vector of k=(1, 0, 0). The intermediate phase between T
N and T
t under zero magnetic field is a long range magnetic ordered state with a transverse sinusoidal modulation with a propagation vector of (1+δ, δ, 0), where δ=0.1120(2) which is nearly the same as that in phase IV in HoB

Cyclotron resonance (CR) measurements on a single crystal of LaSb have been performed in the temperature range from 1.6 K to 40 K in the frequency range from 50 to 190 GHz. We have observed three CR absorption lines at low temperature. For magnetic fields parallel to the [100] direction, the determined effective masses are 0.20± 0.02m
0, 0.17± 0.02m
0, and 0.45± 0.04m
0, which correspond to the α-branch, the β-branch, and the γ-branch, respectively.

In order to clarify structural and magnetic phase transitions of a hexagonal triangular antiferromagnet TlFeCl
3, dielectric and magnetic susceptibilities, D-E hysteresis loops and optical birefringence were measured. Successive structural phase transitions at 179 K(T
2), 83 K(T
3) and 79 K(T
4) were identified. At a range of temperatures T
4 < T < T
3 (phase IV), opened D-E loops were clearly observed. The dielectric behavior of the successive structural phase transitions of TlFeCl
3 were confirmed to be quite similar to those of KNiCl
3 and RbMnBr
3 which are Group I of KNiCl
3-family crystals.

N 1s resonance emission spectra in hexagonal BN was measured with high energy resolution at an undulator beamline. It was found that π emission is very weak in the spectator emission, while both π and σ components are present in the normal emission. This π emission anomaly has been explained in terms of the Coulombic effect of the core hole on the localized N 2p
z valence orbital. The π emission anomaly is quite analogous to the case of the B 1s resonance emission observed in the previous study.

The pre-edge peak as well as the main peak just above the Fe K-absorption edge is observed for anisotropic tensor of susceptibility (ATS) scattering in magnetite, Fe
3O
4 (inverse spinel structure). In order to investigate the origin of the peaks, we study the ATS scattering in franklinite, ZnFe
2O
4 (normal spinel structure) which has Zn atoms in the tetrahedral A sites and Fe atoms in the octahedral B sites. In franklinite, only the main ATS peak is observed at almost the same energy as magnetite. Therefore, the pre-edge and main peaks of magnetite originate from the A and B site atoms, respectively. Because the dipole transition of A site atoms cannot excite ATS scattering, the dipole-quadrupole transition is investigated. The observed energy spectra for the (002) and (006) reflections in magnetite reveal that the pre-edge peak is due to the dipole-quadrupole transition of Fe atoms in the A sites. Comparing the main peak intensities of both reflections in magnetite and franklinite, we conclude that the main peak in franklinite is caused by dipole transition of the B site atoms. However the contribution of dipole-quadrupole transition is presumed in magnetite.

We calculate the resonant x-ray scattering (RXS) spectra near the Ce L
III absorption edge in CeB
6, on the basis of a microscopic model that the 4ƒ states of Ce are atomic while the 5d states form an energy band with a reasonable density of states. In the initial state, we employ an effective Hamiltonian of Shiina
et al. [J. Phys. Soc. Jpn.
66 (1997) 1741] in the antiferro-quadrupole (AFQ) ordering phase, while we construct the wave function consistent with the neutron scattering experiment in the magnetic ground state. In the intermediate state, we take full account of the intra-atomic Coulomb interaction. Without assuming any lattice distortion, we obtain sufficient RXS intensities on the AFQ superlattice spot. We obtain the spectral shape, the temperature and magnetic field dependences in good agreement with the experiment, thus demonstrating the mechanism that the intensity is brought about by the modulation of 5d states through the anisotropic term of the 5d-4ƒ Coulomb interaction. In the magnetic ground state, a small pre-edge peak is found by the E
2 process. On the magnetic superlattice spot, we get a finite but considerably small intensity. The magnetic form factor is briefly discussed.

The shape deformation of a three-dimensional axisymmetric vesicle with encapsulated filaments or impurities is analyzed by integrating a dissipative dynamics. This method can incorporate systematically the constraint of a fixed surface area and/or a fixed volume. The filament encapsulated in a vesicle is assumed to take a form of a rod or a ring so as to imitate cytoskeletons. In both cases, results of the shape transition of the vesicle are summarized in phase diagrams in the phase space of the vesicular volume and a rod length or a ring radius. We also study the dynamics of a vesicle with impurities coupled to the membrane curvature. The phase separation and the associated shape deformation in the early stage of the dynamical evolution can well be explained by the linear stability analysis. Long runs of simulation demonstrate the nonlinear coarsening of the wavy deformation of the vesicle in the late stage.
