Josephson Vortex States in Intermediate Fields
Motivated by recent resistance data in high superconductors in fields
{\it parallel} to the CuO layers, we address two issues on the Josephson-vortex
phase diagram, the appearances of structural transitions on the observed first
order transition (FOT) curve in intermediate fields and of a lower critical
point of the FOT line. It is found that some rotated pinned solids are more
stable than the ordinary rhombic pinned solids with vacant interlayer spacings
and that, due to the vertical portion in higher fields of the FOT line, the FOT
tends to be destroyed by creating a lower critical point.Comment: 12 pages, 3 figures. To appear in J.Phys.Soc.Jpn. 71, No.2 (February,

Universal Irreversibility of Normal Quantum Diffusion
Time-reversibility measured by the deviation of the perturbed time-reversed
motion from the unperturbed one is examined for normal quantum diffusion
exhibited by four classes of quantum maps with contrastive physical nature.
Irrespective of the systems, there exist a universal minimal quantum threshold
above which the system completely loses the past memory, and the time-reversed
dynamics as well as the time-reversal characteristics asymptotically trace
universal curves independent of the details of the systems.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
Evidence for realignment of the charge density wave state in ErTe and TmTe under uniaxial stress via elastocaloric and elastoresistivity measurements
We report the evolution of a charge density wave (CDW) state in the quasi-2D
rare-earth tritellurides (Te for =Er,Tm) as a function of in-plane
uniaxial stress. Measurements of the elastocaloric effect, resistivity, and
elastoresistivity allow us to demonstrate the importance of in-plane
antisymmetric strain on the CDW and to establish a phase diagram. We show that
modest tensile stress parallel to the in-plane -axis can reversibly switch
the direction of the ordering wavevector between the two in-plane directions.
This work establishes Te as a promising model system for the study of
strain-CDW interactions in a quasi-2D square lattice.Comment: 18 pages, 12 figure
Uniaxial-Pressure induced Ferromagnetism of Enhanced Paramagnetic Sr3Ru2O7
We report a uniaxial pressure-dependence of magnetism in layered perovskite
strontium ruthenate Sr3Ru2O7. By applying a relatively small uniaxial pressure,
greater than 0.1 GPa normal to the RuO2 layer, ferromagnetic ordering manifests
below 80 K from the enhanced-paramagnet. Magnetization at 1 kOe and 2 K becomes
100 times larger than that under ambient condition. Uniaxial pressure
dependence of Curie temperature T_C suggests the first order magnetic
transition. Origin of this uniaxial-pressure induced ferromagnetism is
discussed in terms of the rotation of RuO6 octahedra within the RuO2 plane.Comment: 8 pages, 3 figures. to be published in Journal of the Physical

Orbital selectivity of the kink in the dispersion of Sr2RuO4
We present detailed energy dispersions near the Fermi level on the monolayer
perovskite ruthenate Sr2RuO4, determined by high-resolution angle-resolved
photoemission spectroscopy. An orbital selectivity of the kink in the
dispersion of Sr2RuO4 has been found: A kink for the Ru 4d_xy orbital is
clearly observed, but not for the Ru 4d_yz and 4d_zx ones. The result provides
insight into the origin of the kink.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures. Accepted for publication in Phys. Rev.
Spin-charge-lattice coupling near the metal-insulator transition in Ca3Ru2O7
We report x-ray scattering studies of the c-axis lattice parameter in
Ca3Ru2O7 as a function of temperature and magnetic field. These structural
studies complement published transport and magnetization data, and therefore
elucidate the spin-charge-lattice coupling near the metal-insulator transition.
Strong anisotropy of the structural change for field applied along orthogonal
in-plane directions is observed. Competition between a spin-polarized phase
that does not couple to the lattice, and an antiferromagnetic metallic phase,
which does, gives rise to rich behavior for B b.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures, to appear in Phys. Rev.
Molecular-orbital structure in neutron-rich C isotopes
The molecule-like structure of the C isotopes (A=12, 14, 16) is investigated using a microscopic model. The valence neutrons are classified based on the molecular-orbit (MO) model, and both -orbit and -orbit are introduced around three -clusters. The valence neutrons which occupy the -orbit increase the binding energy and stabilize the linear-chain of 3 against the breathing-like break-up. However, C with the -orbit does not show clear energy minimum against the bending-like path. The combination of the valence neutrons in the - and the -orbit is promising to stabilize the linear-chain state against the breathing- and bending- modes, and it is found that the excited states of C with the configuration for the four valence neutrons is one of the most promising candidates for such structure
Theoretical Description of Resistive Behavior near a Quantum Vortex-Glass Transition
Resistive behaviors at nonzero temperatures (T > 0) reflecting a quantum
vortex-glass (VG) transition (the so-called field-tuned
superconductor-insulator transition at T=0) are studied based on a quantum
Ginzburg-Landau (GL) action for a s-wave pairing case containing microscopic
details. The ordinary dissipative dynamics of the pair-field is assumed on the
basis of a consistency between the fluctuation conductance terms excluded from
GL approach and an observed negative magnetoresistance. It is shown that the VG
contribution, G_{vg}(B=B_{vg}, T \to 0),to 2D fluctuation conductance at the VG
transition field B_{vg} depends on the strength of a repulsive-interaction
between electrons and takes a universal value only in the ordinary dirty limit
neglecting the electron-repulsion. Available resistivity data near B_{vg} are
discussed based on our results, and extensions to the cases of a d-wave pairing
and of 3D systems are briefly commented on.Comment: Explanation of data in strongly disordered case, as well as Fig.2 and
3, was renewed, and comments on recent publications were added. To appear in

Metamagnetism and critical fluctuations in high quality single crystals of the bilayer ruthenate Sr3Ru2O7
We report the results of low temperature transport, specific heat and
magnetisation measurements on high quality single crystals of the bilayer
perovskite Sr3Ru2O7, which is a close relative of the unconventional
superconductor Sr2RuO4. Metamagnetism is observed, and transport and
thermodynamic evidence for associated critical fluctuations is presented. These
relatively unusual fluctuations might be pictured as variations in the Fermi
surface topography itself. No equivalent behaviour has been observed in the
metallic state of Sr2RuO4.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, Revtex 3.
Heterogeneity Induced Order in Globally Coupled Chaotic Systems
Collective behavior is studied in globally coupled maps with distributed
nonlinearity. It is shown that the heterogeneity enhances regularity in the
collective dynamics. Low-dimensional quasiperiodic motion is often found for
the mean-field, even if each element shows chaotic dynamics. The mechanism of
this order is due to the formation of an internal bifurcation structure, and
the self-consistent dynamics between the structures and the mean-field.
