Experimental evidence of enhancement without the influence of spin fluctuations: NMR study on LaFeAsO_{1-x}H_x under a pressure of 3.0 GPa
The electron-doped high-transition-temperature (T_c) iron-based pnictide
superconductor LaFeAsO_{1-x}H_x has a unique phase diagram: superconducting
(SC) double domes are sandwiched by antiferromagnetic phases at ambient
pressure and they turn to a single dome with a maximum T_c that exceeds 45K at
a pressure of 3.0 GPa. We studied whether spin fluctuations are involved in
increasing T_c under a pressure of 3.0 GPa by using ^{75}As nuclear magnetic
resonance (NMR) technique. The ^{75}As-NMR results for the powder samples show
that T_c increases up to 48 K without the influence of spin fluctuations. The
fact indicates that spin fluctuations are not involved in raising T_c, which
implies that other factors, such as orbital degrees of freedom, may be
important for achieving a high T_c of almost 50 K.Comment: Correponding Author: Naoki Fujiwar
^{75}As NMR study of the growth of paramagnetic-metal domains due to electron doping near the superconducting phase in LaFeAsO_{1-x}F_{x}
We studied the electric and magnetic behavior near the phase boundary between
antiferromagnetic (AF) and superconducting (SC) phases for a prototype of
high-T_c pnictides LaFeAsO_{1-x}F_{x} by using nuclear magnetic resonance, and
found that paramagnetic-metal (PM) domains segregate from AF domains. PM
domains grow in size with increasing electron doping level and are accompanied
by the onset of superconductivity, and thus application of pressure or
increasing the doping level causes superconductivity. The existence of PM
domains cannot be explained by the existing paradigm that focuses only on the
relationship between superconductivity and antiferromagnetism. Based on orbital
fluctuation theory, the existence of PM domains is evidence of the
ferroquadrupole state.Comment: 5 figure
Investigation of effectiveness of various methods with different unknown variables for 3-D eddy current analysis
Computer codes using the A-φ, A-φ-Ω, A*-0Ω-E, T-Ω, and E-Ω methods were developed. The effects of the volume ratio of the conductor region to the whole region, the shape of the conductor, and the ratio of the hole region to the conductor region on the computer storage, the CPU time, and the accuracy of the methods are investigated systematically using a few simple models. The effect of the conductivity of the conductor is also examined. The computer storage, the CPU time, and the error are found to increase with increase of the volume ratio of the conductor region to the whole region. The computer storage and the CPU time are affected by the shape of the conductor in some methods of analysis. The error of the A*-Ω(E-Ω) method is larger than that of the other methods</p
An open magnetic path type of single sheet tester for measurement of magnetostriction of electrical steel sheet
New technique for producing a strong multi-pole magnet
A new technique for producing strong multipole magnet is developed. A cylindrical magnet oriented with its easy axis of magnetization perpendicular to the cylinder axis is magnetized by a multipole magnetizer. This procedure results in a multipole magnet with a flux density almost sixty percent greater than the flux density produced by a multi-pole magnet which is not oriented. The technique is especially effective for producing small cylindrical magnets with many poles and agreement of a theoretical analysis with experimental results is very good, with deviations of no more than a few percent.</p
Magnetic phase diagram of a frustrated ferrimagnetic ladder: Relation to the one-dimensional boson Hubbard model
We study the magnetic phase diagram of two coupled mixed-spin
Heisenberg chains as a function of the frustration parameter related to
diagonal exchange couplings. The analysis is performed by using spin-wave
series and exact numerical diagonalization techniques. The obtained phase
diagram--containing the Luttinger liquid phase, the plateau phase with a
magnetization per rung , and the fully polarized phase--is closely
related to the generic phase diagram of the one-dimensional boson
Hubbard model.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figure
Optimal design of injection mold for plastic bonded magnet
The optimal design of an injection mold for producing a stronger multipole magnet is carried out using the finite element method and the direct search method. It is shown that the maximum flux density in the cavity obtained by the optimal design is about 2.6 times higher than that of the initial shape determined empirically. 3-D analysis of the nonlinear magnetic field in the injection mold with complicated structure is also carried out. The calculated flux distribution on the cavity surface is in good agreement with the measured one</p
Charmless Final State Interaction in B-> pi pi decays
We estimate effects of the final state interactions in B -> pi pi decays
coming from rescattering of pi pi via exchange of rho, sigma, f_0 mesons. Then
we include the rho rho rescattering via exchange of pi, omega, a_1 mesons and
finally we consider contributions of the a_1 pi rescattering via exchange of
rho. The absorptive parts of amplitudes for these processes are determined. In
the case of pi^+ pi^- decay mode, due to model uncertainties, the calculated
contribution is |M_A| =< 1.7 x 10^-8 GeV. This produces a small relative strong
phase for the tree and color-suppressed B -> pi pi amplitudes consistent with
the result of a recent phenomenological analysis based on the BaBar and Belle
results for the B -> pi pi branching ratios and CP asymmetries.Comment: 10 pages, 2 figure
An improved method for determining the DC magnetization curve using a ring specimen
When the DC magnetization curve (B-H) of nonoriented material is measured in a ring specimen, there is an intrinsic error due to the assumption that the mean magnetic path length is equal to the mean geometric path length. A novel method for determining the B-H curve accurately is proposed. The validity of the method is verified by experiments</p
