Estimation of Phonon Dispersion Relations Using Correlation Effects Among Thermal Displacements of Atoms
Neutron diffraction measurement of powder α-Fe sample at 295 K was carried out at the high resolution powder diffractometer installed at Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC). Crystal parameters were determined from Rietveld analysis. The correlation effects among thermal displacements of atoms were estimated from a generalized equation based on the results of fomer diffuse scattering analysis. The force constants among atoms were obtained using an equation for transforming of the correlation effects to force constants. The force constants and the crystal structure of α-Fe were used to estimate the phonon dispersion relations, phonon density of states, and specific heat by computer simulation. The obtained force constants among first-nearest-neighboring atoms is 2.3 eV/Å2 at 295 K and the specific heat is 185 meV/K at 150 K. The calculated phonon dispersion relations and specific heat of α-Fe are similar to those obtained from inelastic neutron scattering and specific heat measurements, respectively.

Hadron properties in the nuclear medium
The QCD vacuum shows the dynamical breaking of chiral symmetry. In the
hot/dense QCD medium, the chiral order parameter such as is
expected to change as function of temperature and density of the
medium, and its experimental detection is one of the main challenges in modern
hadron physics. In this article, we discuss theoretical expectations for the
in-medium hadron spectra associated with partial restoration of chiral symmetry
and the current status of experiments with an emphasis on the measurements of
properties of mesons produced in near-ground-state nuclei.Comment: 40 pages, submitted to Reviews of Modern Physic
Duality Relation among Periodic Potential Problems in the Lowest Landau Level
Using a momentum representation of a magnetic von Neumann lattice, we study a
two-dimensional electron in a uniform magnetic field and obtain one-particle
spectra of various periodic short-range potential problems in the lowest Landau
level.We find that the energy spectra satisfy a duality relation between a
period of the potential and a magnetic length. The energy spectra consist of
the Hofstadter-type bands and flat bands. We also study the connection between
a periodic short-range potential problem and a tight-binding model.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figures, final version to appear in PR
Instanton Number Calculus on Noncommutative R^4
In noncommutative spaces, it is unknown whether the Pontrjagin class gives
integer, as well as, the relation between the instanton number and Pontrjagin
class is not clear. Here we define ``Instanton number'' by the size of
in the ADHM construction. We show the analytical derivation of the
noncommuatative U(1) instanton number as an integral of Pontrjagin class
(instanton charge) with the Fock space representation. Our approach is for the
arbitrary converge noncommutative U(1) instanton solution, and is based on the
anti-self-dual (ASD) equation itself. We give the Stokes' theorem for the
number operator representation. The Stokes' theorem on the noncommutative space
shows that instanton charge is given by some boundary sum. Using the ASD
conditions, we conclude that the instanton charge is equivalent to the
instanton number.Comment: 29 pages, 7 figures, some statements in Sec.4.3 correcte
Manipulating textures of rotating superfluid 3 He- A phase in a single narrow cylinder
We investigated order parameter textures of the rotating superfluid 3 He-A phase in a single narrow cylinder with
a diameter of about 10 times the dipole coherence length by the cw-NMR method. It is theoretically proposed
that in such a narrow cylinder, a few special textures will appear due to the confinement in a cylindrical geometry.
We observed three types of NMR spectra in the A phase. The NMR spectra of the textures were identified by
a comparison with the spin waves excited in the NMR potential using their numerically calculated resonance
frequencies and relative intensities. We have established a method to selectively generate each one of the textures
by controlling the conditions when the A phase was formed, such as the applied magnetic field, rotation angular
velocity, and temperature
