The Application of MIMO to Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access
This paper considers the application of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO)
techniques to non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) systems. A new design of
precoding and detection matrices for MIMO-NOMA is proposed and its performance
is analyzed for the case with a fixed set of power allocation coefficients. To
further improve the performance gap between MIMO-NOMA and conventional
orthogonal multiple access schemes, user pairing is applied to NOMA and its
impact on the system performance is characterized. More sophisticated choices
of power allocation coefficients are also proposed to meet various quality of
service requirements. Finally computer simulation results are provided to
facilitate the performance evaluation of MIMO-NOMA and also demonstrate the
accuracy of the developed analytical results
Anisotropic Diamagnetic Response in Type-II Superconductors with Gap and Fermi-Surface Anisotropies
Effects of anisotropic gap structures on a diamagnetic response are
investigated in order to demonstrate that the field-angle-resolved
magnetization () measurement can be used as a spectroscopic method
to detect gap structures. Our microscopic calculation based on the
quasiclassical Eilenberger formalism reveals that in a
superconductor with four-fold gap displays a four-fold oscillation reflecting
the gap and Fermi surface anisotropies, and the sign of this oscillation
changes at a field between and . As a prototype of
unconventional superconductors, magnetization data for borocarbides are also
discussed.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure

Chemisorption and reactions on clusters of nickel atoms
The nucleation and growth of metallic clusters on a substantially amorphous substrate are discussed with emphasis on the geometrical and electronic structure of the clusters. Several clusters of different symmetry containing five to nine nickel atoms were studied. It was found that the energy range of primary d-like states is not significantly different from the width of the d-band states in nickel metal, as long as the interatomic distance is comparable to that in the bulk metal. The approach of one or more molecules to the cluster is examined using at the hydrogenation of acetylene and the dehydrogenation of ethylene as examples
Magnetic-field effects on the charge-spin stripe order in La-214 high-Tc cuprates
Magnetic-field effects on the charge-spin stripe order in La-214 high-Tc
cuprates have been investigated from measurements of the in-plane
electrical-resistivity, Rho_ab_. In La_2-x_Ba_x_CuO_4_ with x=0.10 and
La_2-x_Sr_x_CuO_4_ with x=0.115 where the incommensurate charge peaks are weak
and unobservable in zero field in elastic neutron-scattering measurements,
respectively, the normal-state value of Rho_ab_ at low temperatures markedly
increases with increasing field up to 27 T. For La_2-x_Ba_x_CuO_4_ with x=0.11
and Zn-substituted La_2-x_Sr_x_Cu_1-y_Zn_y_O_4_ with x=0.115 and y=0.02 where
the charge stripe order is fairly stabilized in zero field, on the other hand,
the increase in Rho_ab_ with increasing field is negligibly small. In
conclusion, when the charge-spin stripe order is not fully stable in zero
field, magnetic field operates to stabilize the charge-spin stripe order. The
value of Rho_ab_ increases with increasing field depending on the stability of
the charge stripe order.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, Proceedings of Yamada Conference LX on Research
