Distribution of Microscopic Energy Flux in Equilibrium State
The distribution function P(j) of the microscopic energy flux, j, in
equilibrium state is studied. It is observed that P(j) has a broad peak in
small j regime and a stretched-exponential decay for large j. The peak
structure originates in a potential advection term and energy transfer term
between the particles. The stretched exponential tail comes from the momentum
energy advection term.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figure
Magnetic Excitations in the Quasi-1D Ising-like Antiferromagnet TlCoCl
Neutron inelastic scattering measurements have been performed in order to
investigate the magnetic excitations in the quasi-1D Ising-like antiferromagnet
TlCoCl. We observed the magnetic excitation, which corresponds to the
spin-wave excitation continuum corresponding to the domain-wall pair excitation
in the 1D Ising-like antiferromagnet. According to the Ishimura-Shiba theory,
we analyzed the observed spin-wave excitation, and the exchange constant
and the anistropy were estimated as 14.7 meV and 0.14 in TlCoCl,
respectively.Comment: 2 pages, 3 figures, jpsj2.cls, to be published in J. Phys. Soc. Jpn.

Suppressed Coherence due to Orbital Correlations in the Ferromagnetically Ordered Metallic Phase of Mn Compounds
Small Drude weight together with small specific heat coefficient
observed in the ferromagnetic phase of RAMnO (R=La, Pr, Nd, Sm;
A=Ca, Sr, Ba) are analyzed in terms of a proximity effect of the Mott
insulator. The scaling theory for the metal-insulator transition with the
critical enhancement of orbital correlations toward the staggered ordering of
two orbitals such as and symmetries may lead to the
critical exponents of and with
and . The result agrees with the experimental indications.Comment: 4 pages LaTeX using jpsj.sty. To appear in J. Phys. Soc. Jpn.

Susceptibility of the one-dimensional, dimerized Hubbard model
We show that the zero temperature susceptibility of the one-dimensional,
dimerized Hubbard model at quarter-filling can be accurately determined on the
basis of exact diagonalization of small clusters. The best procedure is to
perform a finite-size scaling of the spin velocity , and to calculate
the susceptibility from the Luttinger liquid relation . We
show that these results are reliable by comparing them with the analytical
results that can be obtained in the weak and strong coupling limits. We have
also used quantum Monte Carlo simulations to calculate the temperature
dependence of the susceptibility for parameters that should be relevant to the
Bechgaard salts. This shows that, used together, these numerical techniques are
able to give precise estimates of the low temperature susceptibility of
realistic one-dimensional models of correlated electrons.Comment: 10 pages, latex, figures available from the authors. To appear in

A Molecular Line Observation toward Massive Clumps Associated with Infrared Dark Clouds
We have surveyed the N2H+ J=1-0, HC3N J=5-4, CCS J_N=4_3-3_2, NH3 (J, K) =
(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), and CH3OH J=7-6 lines toward the 55 massive clumps
associated with infrared dark clouds by using the Nobeyama Radio Observatory 45
m telescope and the Atacama Submillimeter Telescope Experiment 10 m telescope.
The N2H+, HC3N, and NH3 lines are detected toward most of the objects. On the
other hand, the CCS emission is detected toward none of the objects. The
[CCS]/[N2H+] ratios are found to be mostly lower than unity even in the Spitzer
24 micron dark objects. This suggests that most of the massive clumps are
chemically more evolved than the low-mass starless cores. The CH3OH emission is
detected toward 18 out of 55 objects. All the CH3OH-detected objects are
associated with the Spitzer 24 micron sources, suggesting that star formation
has already started in all the CH3OH-detected objects. The velocity widths of
the CH3OH J_K=7_0-6_0 A+ and 7_{-1}-6_{-1} E lines are broader than those of
N2H+ J=1-0. The CH3OH J_K=7_0-6_0 A+ and 7_{-1}-6_{-1} E lines tend to have
broader linewidth in the MSX dark objects than in the others, the former being
younger or less luminous than the latter. The origin of the broad emission is
discussed in terms of the interaction between an outflow and an ambient cloud.Comment: Accepted to Ap
Plastic deformations in crystal, polycrystal, and glass in binary mixtures under shear: Collective yielding
Using molecular dynamics simulation, we examine the dynamics of crystal,
polycrystal, and glass in a Lennard-Jones binary mixture composed of small and
large particles in two dimensions. The crossovers occur among these states as
the composition c is varied at fixed size ratio. Shear is applied to a system
of 9000 particles in contact with moving boundary layers composed of 1800
particles. The particle configurations are visualized with a sixfold
orientation angle alpha_j(t) and a disorder variable D_j(t) defined for
particle j, where the latter represents the deviation from hexagonal order.
Fundamental plastic elements are classified into dislocation gliding and grain
boundary sliding. At any c, large-scale yielding events occur on the acoustic
time scale. Moreover, they multiply occur in narrow fragile areas, forming
shear bands. The dynamics of plastic flow is highly hierarchical with a wide
range of time scales for slow shearing. We also clarify the relationship
between the shear stress averaged in the bulk region and the wall stress
applied at the boundaries.Comment: 17 pages, 15 figures, to appear in Physical Review
Polarized Neutron Inelastic Scattering Study of the Anisotropic Magnetic Fluctuations in the Quasi-1D Ising-like Antiferromagnet TlCoCl
Polarized neutron inelastic scattering experiments have been carried out in
the quasi-1D Ising-like antiferromagnet TlCoCl. We observed the
longitudinal magnetic fluctuation for the spin-wave
excitation continuum, which has not been observed in the unpolarized neutron
inelastic scattering experiments of the quasi-1D Ising-like antiferromagnets
CsCoCl and TlCoCl so far, together with the transverse magnetic
fluctuation . We compared both obtained intensities of
and with the perturbation theory from
the pure Ising limit by Ishimura and Shiba, and a semi-quantitative agreement
was found.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figures, jpsj2.cls, to be published in J. Phys. Soc. Jpn.

Tail States in Disordered Superconductors with Magnetic Impurities: the Unitarity Limit
When subject to a weak magnetic impurity distribution, the order parameter
and quasi-particle energy gap of a weakly disordered bulk s-wave superconductor
are suppressed. In the Born scattering limit, recent investigations have shown
that `optimal fluctuations' of the random impurity potential can lead to the
nucleation of `domains' of localised states within the gap region predicted by
the conventional Abrikosov-Gor'kov mean-field theory, rendering the
superconducting system gapless at any finite impurity concentration. By
implementing a field theoretic scheme tailored to the weakly disordered system,
the aim of the present paper is to extend this analysis to the consideration of
magnetic impurities in the unitarity scattering limit. This investigation
reveals that the qualitative behaviour is maintained while the density of
states exhibits a rich structure.Comment: 18 pages AMSLaTeX (with LaTeX2e), 6 eps figure
Nearly universal crossing point of the specific heat curves of Hubbard models
A nearly universal feature of the specific heat curves C(T,U) vs. T for
different U of a general class of Hubbard models is observed. That is, the
value C_+ of the specific heat curves at their high-temperature crossing point
T_+ is almost independent of lattice structure and spatial dimension d, with
C_+/k_B \approx 0.34. This surprising feature is explained within second order
perturbation theory in U by identifying two small parameters controlling the
value of C_+: the integral over the deviation of the density of states
N(\epsilon) from a constant value, characterized by \delta N=\int d\epsilon
|N(\epsilon)-1/2|, and the inverse dimension, 1/d.Comment: Revtex, 9 pages, 6 figure
