Quark Confinement Physics in Quantum Chromodynamics
We study abelian dominance and monopole condensation for the quark
confinement physics using the lattice QCD simulations in the MA gauge. These
phenomena are closely related to the dual superconductor picture of the QCD
vacuum, and enable us to construct the dual Ginzburg-Landau (DGL) theory as an
useful effective theory of nonperturbative QCD. We then apply the DGL theory to
the studies of the low-lying hadron structure and the scalar glueball
properties.Comment: Talk given at 15th International Conference on Particle and Nuclei

Hadron Physics and Confinement Physics in Lattice QCD
We are aiming to construct Quark Hadron Physics and Confinement Physics based
on QCD. Using SU(3) lattice QCD, we are investigating the three-quark
potential at T=0 and , mass spectra of positive and negative-parity
baryons in the octet and the decuplet representations of the SU(3) flavor,
glueball properties at T=0 and . We study also Confinement Physics
using lattice QCD. In the maximally abelian (MA) gauge, the off-diagonal gluon
amplitude is strongly suppressed, and then the off-diagonal gluon phase shows
strong randomness, which leads to a large effective off-diagonal gluon mass,
. Due to the large off-diagonal gluon mass in
the MA gauge, infrared QCD is abelianized like nonabelian Higgs theories. In
the MA gauge, there appears a macroscopic network of the monopole world-line
covering the whole system. From the monopole current, we extract the dual gluon
field , and examine the longitudinal magnetic screening. We obtain 0.5 GeV in the infrared region, which indicates the dual Higgs
mechanism by monopole condensation. From infrared abelian dominance and
infrared monopole condensation, low-energy QCD in the MA gauge is described
with the dual Ginzburg-Landau (DGL) theory.Comment: Invited talk given at International Symposium on Hadrons and Nuclei,

High Temperature Ferromagnetism in GaAs-based Heterostructures with Mn Delta Doping
We show that suitably-designed magnetic semiconductor heterostructures
consisting of Mn delta-doped GaAs and p-type AlGaAs layers, in which the
locally high concentration of magnetic moments of Mn atoms are controllably
overlapped with the 2-dimensional hole gas wavefunction, realized remarkably
high ferromagnetic transition temperatures (TC). Significant reduction of
compensative Mn interstitials by varying the growth sequence of the structures
followed by low temperature annealing led to high TC up to 250 K. The
heterostructure with high TC exhibited peculiar anomalous Hall effect behavior,
whose sign depends on temperature.Comment: 18 pages, 4 figure
Direct observation of oxygen polarization in SrIrO by O -edge x-ray magnetic circular dichroism
X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD)
measurements at the oxygen (O) -edge were performed to investigate the
magnetic polarization of ligand O atoms in the weak ferromagnetic (WFM) phase
of the Ir perovskite compound SrIrO. With the onset of the WFM phase
below K, XMCD signals corresponding to XAS peaks
respectively identified as originating from the magnetic moments of apical and
planar oxygen (O and O) in the IrO octahedra were
observed. The observation of magnetic moments at O sites is
consistent (except for the relative orientation) with that suggested by prior
muon spin rotation (SR) experiment in the non-collinear antiferromagnetic
(NC-AFM) phase below K. Assuming that the O
magnetic moment observed by SR is also responsible for the corresponding
XMCD signal, the magnetic moment of O is estimated to be consistent
with the previous SR result. Since the O XMCD signal is mainly
contributed by Ir 5 and orbitals which also hybridize with O, it is inferred that the relatively large O magnetic moment is
induced by Ir 5 orbitals. Moreover, the inversion of O
moments relative to Ir moments between the two magnetic phases revealed by XMCD
suggests the presence of competing magnetic interactions for O, with
which the ordering of O moments in the NC-AFM phase may be suppressed
to .Comment: 6 pages, 6 figure
Analytical investigation of magnetic field distributions around superconducting strips on ferromagnetic substrates
The complex-field approach is developed to derive analytical expressions of
the magnetic field distributions around superconducting strips on ferromagnetic
substrates (SC/FM strips). We consider the ferromagnetic substrates as ideal
soft magnets with an infinite magnetic permeability, neglecting the
ferromagnetic hysteresis. On the basis of the critical state model for a
superconducting strip, the ac susceptibility of a SC/FM
strip exposed to a perpendicular ac magnetic field is theoretically
investigated, and the results are compared with those for superconducting
strips on nonmagnetic substrates (SC/NM strips). The real part for
(where is the amplitude of the ac magnetic field,
is the critical current density, and is the thickness of the
superconducting strip) of a SC/FM strip is 3/4 of that of a SC/NM strip. The
imaginary part (or ac loss ) for of a SC/FM
strip is larger than that of a SC/NM strip, even when the ferromagnetic
hysteresis is neglected, and this enhancement of (or ) is due to
the edge effect of the ferromagnetic substrate.Comment: 8 pages, 6 figures, submitted to Phys. Rev.
