Three-dimensional boundary layer analysis program Blay and its application
The boundary layer calculation program (BLAY) is a program code which accurately analyzes the three-dimensional boundary layer of a wing with an undefined plane. In comparison with other preexisting programs, the BLAY is characterized by the following: (1) the time required for computation is shorter than any other; (2) the program is adaptable to a parallel processing computer; and (3) the program is associated with a secondary accuracy in the z-direction. As a boundary layer modification to transonic nonviscous flow analysis programs, it is used to adjust viscous and nonviscous interference problems repeatedly. Its efficiency is an important factor in cost reduction in aircraft designing
Magnetic Determination of under Accurate Alignment in (TMTSF)ClO
Cantilever magnetometry has been used to measure the upper critical magnetic
field of the quasi-one dimensional molecular organic superconductor
(TMTSF)ClO. From simultaneous resistivity and torque magnetization
experiments conducted under precise field alignment, at low
temperature is shown to reach 5T, nearly twice the Pauli paramagnetic limit
imposed on spin singlet superconductors. These results constitute the first
thermodynamic evidence for a large in this system and provide support
for spin triplet pairing in this unconventional superconductorComment: Submitted July 1, 2003, Accepted December 9, 2003, Physical Review

Zeeman effect in superconducting two-leg ladders: irrational magnetization plateaus and exceeding the Pauli limit
The effect of a parallel magnetic field on superconducting two-leg ladders is
investigated numerically. The magnetization curve displays an irrational
plateau at a magnetization equal to the hole density. Remarkably, its stability
is fundamentally connected to the existence of a well-known magnetic resonant
mode. Once the zero-field spin gap is suppressed by the field, pairs acquire a
finite momentum characteristic of a Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov phase. In
addition, S^z=0 triplet superconducting correlations coexist with singlet ones
above the irrational plateau. This provides a simple mechanism in which the
Pauli limit is exceeded as suggested by recent experiments.Comment: 4 pages, 6 figure
Optical observations of NEA 162173 (1999 JU3) during the 2011-2012 apparition
Near-Earth asteroid 162173 (1999 JU3) is a potential target of two asteroid
sample return missions, not only because of its accessibility but also because
of the first C-type asteroid for exploration missions. The lightcurve-related
physical properties of this object were investigated during the 2011-2012
apparition. We aim to confirm the physical parameters useful for JAXA's
Hayabusa 2 mission, such as rotational period, absolute magnitude, and phase
function. Our data complement previous studies that did not cover low phase
angles. With optical imagers and 1-2 m class telescopes, we acquired the
photometric data at different phase angles. We independently derived the
rotational lightcurve and the phase curve of the asteroid. We have analyzed the
lightcurve of 162173 (1999 JU3), and derived a synodic rotational period of
7.625 +/- 0.003 h, the axis ratio a/b = 1.12. The absolute magnitude H_R =
18.69 +/- 0.07 mag and the phase slope of G = -0.09 +/- 0.03 were also obtained
based on the observations made during the 2011-2012 apparition.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure
Anomalous In-Plane Anisotropy of the Onset of Superconductivity in (TMTSF)2ClO4
We report the magnetic field-amplitude and field-angle dependence of the
superconducting onset temperature Tc_onset of the organic superconductor
(TMTSF)2ClO4 in magnetic fields H accurately aligned to the conductive ab'
plane. We revealed that the rapid increase of the onset fields at low
temperatures occurs both for H // b' and H // a, irrespective of the carrier
confinement. Moreover, in the vicinity of the Pauli limiting field, we report a
shift of a principal axis of the in-plane field-angle dependence of Tc_onset
away from the b' axis. This feature may be related to an occurrence of
Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov phases.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
Perturbation Theory for a Repulsive Hubbard Model in Quasi-One-Dimensional Superconductors
We investigate pairing symmetry and a transition temperature in a
quasi-one-dimensional repulsive Hubbard model. We solve the Eliashberg equation
using the third-order perturbation expansion with respect to the on-site
repulsion . We find that when the electron number density is shifted from
the half-filled, a transition into unconventional superconductivity is
expected. When one dimensionality is weak, a spin-singlet state is favorable.
By contrast, when one dimensionality is strong and electron number density is
far from the half-filled, a spin-triplet state is stabilized. Finally, we
discuss the possibility of unconventional superconductivity caused by the
on-site Coulomb repulsion in -NaVO.Comment: 4 pages, 7 figure
The effect of irradiation-induced disorder on the conductivity and critical temperature of the organic superconductor -(BEDT-TTF)Cu(SCN)
We have introduced defects into clean samples of the organic superconductor
-(BEDT-TTF)Cu(SCN) in order to determine their effect on the
temperature dependence of the conductivity and the critical temperature . We find a violation of Matthiessen's rule that can be explained by a model
of the conductivity involving a defect-assisted interlayer channel which acts
in parallel with the band-like conductivity. We observe an unusual dependence
of on residual resistivity which is not consistent with the
generalised Abrikosov-Gor'kov theory for an order parameter with a single
component, providing an important constraint on models of the superconductivity
