Phase-resolved Spin-Wave Tomography

The propagation dynamics of spin waves are represented by their dispersion relations. Recently, we have developed a method, called spin-wave tomography (SWaT), to obtain dispersion relation of spin waves in the long wavelength regime, so-called pure magnetostatic waves. In our previous studies on SWaT, phase information of spin waves was disregarded. In this report, we demonstrate an advanced SWaT analysis, called phase-resolved spin-wave tomography (PSWaT), to realize the direct observation of the amplitude and the phase of spin waves. The PSWaT spectra are obtained by separating the real and the imaginary components of the complex Fourier transform in the SWaT analysis. We demonstrate the PSWaT spectra of spin waves excited by the photo-induced demagnetization in a Bi-doped garnet film, reflecting the characteristic features of the complex dynamical susceptibility affected by magnetostatic coupling in the film.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure

Spin-current injection and detection in strongly correlated organic conductor

Spin-current injection into an organic semiconductor $\rm{\kappa\text{-}(BEDT\text{-}TTF)_2Cu[N(CN)_2]Br}$ film induced by the spin pumping from an yttrium iron garnet (YIG) film. When magnetization dynamics in the YIG film is excited by ferromagnetic or spin-wave resonance, a voltage signal was found to appear in the $\rm{\kappa\text{-}(BEDT\text{-}TTF)_2Cu[N(CN)_2]Br}$ film. Magnetic-field-angle dependence measurements indicate that the voltage signal is governed by the inverse spin Hall effect in $\rm{\kappa\text{-}(BEDT\text{-}TTF)_2Cu[N(CN)_2]Br}$. We found that the voltage signal in the $\rm{\kappa\text{-}(BEDT\text{-}TTF)_2Cu[N(CN)_2]Br}$/YIG system is critically suppressed around 80 K, around which magnetic and/or glass transitions occur, implying that the efficiency of the spin-current injection is suppressed by fluctuations which critically enhanced near the transitions

Frequency and wavenumber selective excitation of spin waves through coherent energy transfer from elastic waves

Using spin-wave tomography (SWaT), we have investigated the excitation and the propagation dynamics of optically-excited magnetoelastic waves, i.e. hybridized modes of spin waves and elastic waves, in a garnet film. By using time-resolved SWaT, we reveal the excitation dynamics of magnetoelastic waves through coherent-energy transfer between optically-excited pure-elastic waves and spin waves via magnetoelastic coupling. This process realizes frequency and wavenumber selective excitation of spin waves at the crossing of the dispersion relations of spin waves and elastic waves. Finally, we demonstrate that the excitation mechanism of the optically-excited pure-elastic waves, which are the source of the observed magnetoelastic waves, is dissipative in nature.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure

N\'eel and singlet RVB orders in the t-J model

The N\'eel and the singlet RVB orders of the {\it t-J} model in a 2D square lattice are studied in the slave-boson mean-field approximation. It is shown that the N\'eel order parameter takes the maximum value at the finite temperature and disappear at the lower temperature for a certain range of doping. It is also shown that the N\'eel and the singlet RVB orders coexist at low temperature. This suggests the possibility of the coexistence of the N\'eel and the superconducting orders.Comment: RevTeX, 8 pages, 1 postscript figure. To appear in Physica C, Volume 257, issue 38

Electronic Structure of Charge- and Spin-controlled Sr_{1-(x+y)}La_{x+y}Ti_{1-x}Cr_{x}O_{3}

We present the electronic structure of Sr_{1-(x+y)}La_{x+y}Ti_{1-x}Cr_{x}O_{3} investigated by high-resolution photoemission spectroscopy. In the vicinity of Fermi level, it was found that the electronic structure were composed of a Cr 3d local state with the t_{2g}^{3} configuration and a Ti 3d itinerant state. The energy levels of these Cr and Ti 3d states are well interpreted by the difference of the charge-transfer energy of both ions. The spectral weight of the Cr 3d state is completely proportional to the spin concentration x irrespective of the carrier concentration y, indicating that the spin density can be controlled by x as desired. In contrast, the spectral weight of the Ti 3d state is not proportional to y, depending on the amount of Cr doping.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures. Accepted for publication in Phys. Rev. Let

Fine-grained Recording and Streaming Lectures

There are several lecture recording systems (commercial and non-commercial) based on VOD technology. These systems record only slides or WWW images statically, so the fine-grained events are missed. For example, scrolling and/or mouse focusing are not recorded. We developed a fine-grained lecture recording system which records mouse movement during lectures, and also records lectures using Microsoft PowerPoint® and WWW.ArticleProceedings of the International Conference on Computers in Education (ICCE’04). 1957-1962 (2004)conference pape
