Field induced long-range-ordering in an S=1 quasi-one-dimensional Heisenberg antiferromagnet
We have measured the heat capacity and magnetization of the spin one
one-dimensional Heisenberg antiferromagnet NDMAP and constructed a magnetic
field versus temperature phase diagram. We found a field induced long-range
magnetic ordering. We have been successful in explaining the phase diagram
theoretically.Comment: 6 pages, 18 figure
Self-trapped bidirectional waveguides in a saturable photorefractive medium
We introduce a time-dependent model for the generation of joint solitary
waveguides by counter-propagating light beams in a photorefractive crystal.
Depending on initial conditions, beams form stable steady-state structures or
display periodic and irregular temporal dynamics. The steady-state solutions
are non-uniform in the direction of propagation and represent a general class
of self-trapped waveguides, including counterpropagating spatial vector
solitons as a particular case.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figure
A new type of solution of the Schr\"odinger equation on a self-similar fractal potential
Scattering a quantum particle by a self-similar fractal potential on a Cantor
set is investigated. We present a new type of solution of the functional
equation for the transfer matrix of this potential, which was derived earlier
from the Schr\"odinger equation.Comment: Latex, 4 pages, 7 eps-figures; the old figures are renewed and new

Field-induced 3- and 2-dimensional freezing in a quantum spin liquid
Field-induced commensurate transverse magnetic ordering is observed in the
Haldane-gap compound \nd by means of neutron diffraction. Depending on the
direction of applied field, the high-field phase is shown to be either a
3-dimensional ordered N\'{e}el state or a short-range ordered state with
dominant 2-dimensional spin correlations. The structure of the high-field phase
is determined, and properties of the observed quantum phase transition are
discussed.Comment: 4 pages 3 figure
Spin-Reorientation Transition of Field-Induced Magnetic Ordering Phases in the Anisotropic Haldane System
A possible spin-reorientation transition in field-induced magnetic ordering
phases of the S=1 Haldane system with large easy-plane anisotropy is proposed,
using an effective Lagrangian formalism as well as the density matrix
renormalization group method. Such a spin-reorientation transition is predicted
in the case where the applied magnetic field is inclined from the easy axis of
the anisotropy. We point out that this transition has a close connection with a
variation of the order parameter even at zero temperature, although it is
different from a quantum analog of the so-called spin-flop transition proposed
for the system having a strong easy axis anisotropy. In connection with a novel
phase observed recently in the Haldane system at high fields, we discuss
possible implications for the field-induced magnetic ordering.Comment: 14 pages, 7 figure
Massive triplet excitations in a magnetized anisotropic Haldane spin chain
Inelastic neutron scattering experiments on the Haldane-gap quantum
antiferromagnet \nd are performed at mK temperatures in magnetic fields of
almost twice the critical field applied perpendicular to the spin cahins.
Above a re-opening of the spin gap is clearly observed. In the high-field
N\'eel-ordered state the spectrum is dominated by three distinct long-lived
excitation branches. Several field-theoretical models are tested in a
quantitative comparison with the experimental data.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure
On the classification of tight contact structures II
Abstract We present complete classification results for tight contact structures on two classes of 3-manifolds: (i) torus bundles which fiber over the circle and (ii) circle bundles which fiber over closed surfaces
Quasi-elastic neutron scattering in the high-field phase of a Haldane antiferromagnet
Inelastic neutron scattering experiments on the Haldane-gap quantum
antiferromagnet NDMAP are performed in magnetic fields below and above the
critical field Hc at which the gap closes. Quasi-elastic neutron scattering is
found for H>Hc indicating topological excitations in the high field phase.Comment: Added to discussion section. v2: Updated figure
Critical phase of a magnetic hard hexagon model on triangular lattice
We introduce a magnetic hard hexagon model with two-body restrictions for
configurations of hard hexagons and investigate its critical behavior by using
Monte Carlo simulations and a finite size scaling method for discreate values
of activity. It turns out that the restrictions bring about a critical phase
which the usual hard hexagon model does not have. An upper and a lower critical
value of the discrete activity for the critical phase of the newly proposed
model are estimated as 4 and 6, respectively.Comment: 11 pages, 8 Postscript figures, uses revtex.st
