A magnetic analog of the isotope effect in cuprates
We present extensive magnetic measurements of the
(Ca_xLa_{1-x})(Ba_{1.75-x}La_{0.25+x})Cu_{3}O_{y} (CLBLCO) system with its four
different families (x) having a Tc^max(x) variation of 28% and minimal
structural changes. For each family we measured the Neel temperature, the
anisotropies of the magnetic interactions, and the spin glass temperature. Our
results exhibit a universal relation Tc=c*J*n_s for all families, where c~1, J
is the in plane Heisenberg exchange, and n_s is the carrier density. This
relates cuprate superconductivity to magnetism in the same sense that phonon
mediated superconductivity is related to atomic mass.Comment: With an additional inset in Fig.
Antiferro-quadrupole state of orbital-degenerate Kondo lattice model with f^2 configuration
To clarify a key role of orbitals in the emergence of
antiferro-quadrupole structure in PrPb, we investigate the ground-state
property of an orbital-degenerate Kondo lattice model by numerical
diagonalization techniques. In PrPb, Pr has a
configuration and the crystalline-electric-field ground state is a non-Kramers
doublet . In a - coupling scheme, the state is
described by two local singlets, each of which consists of two electrons
with one in and another in orbitals. Since in a cubic
structure, has localized nature, while orbitals are
rather itinerant, we propose the orbital-degenerate Kondo lattice model for an
effective Hamiltonian of PrPb. We show that an antiferro-orbital state is
favored by the so-called double-exchange mechanism which is characteristic of
multi-orbital systems.Comment: 3 pages, 3 figures, Proceedings of Skutterudite2007 (September 26-30,

Extended Aharonov-Bohm period analysis of strongly correlated electron systems
The `extended Aharonov-Bohm (AB) period' recently proposed by Kusakabe and
Aoki [J. Phys. Soc. Jpn (65), 2772 (1996)] is extensively studied numerically
for finite size systems of strongly correlated electrons. While the extended AB
period is the system length times the flux quantum for noninteracting systems,
we have found the existence of the boundary across which the period is halved
or another boundary into an even shorter period on the phase diagram for these
models. If we compare this result with the phase diagram predicted from the
Tomonaga-Luttinger theory, devised for low-energy physics, the halved period
(or shorter periods) has a one-to-one correspondence to the existence of the
pairing (phase separation or metal-insulator transition) in these models. We
have also found for the t-J model that the extended AB period does not change
across the integrable-nonintegrable boundary despite the totally different
level statistics.Comment: 26 pages, RevTex, 16 figures available on request from

7(1997), We disscus the extended AB period of strongly correlated systems
more systematically by performing numerical calculation for the t-J-J' model

Competitive density waves in quasi-one-dimensional electron systems
We investigate the nature of the ground state of the one-dimensional t-J
model coupled to adiabatic phonons by use of the Lanczos technique at quarter
filling. Due to the interplay between electron-electron and electron-phonon
interactions, the model undergoes instabilities toward the formation of lattice
and charge modulations. Moderate on-site and intra-site electron-phonon
couplings lead to a competition of different spin-Peierls and dimerized states.
In the former case two electrons belong to the unit cell and we expect a
paramagnetic band insulator state, while lattice dimerization leads to a Mott
insulating state with quasi long range antiferromagnetic order. The zero
temperature phase diagram is obtained as a function of intra-site and
inter-site electron-phonon couplings, analytically in the limit and
numerically at finite J/t.Comment: 7 pages, 7 figures, to be published in Phys. Rev.
J-type Carbon Stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud
A sample of 1497 carbon stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud has been observed
in the red part of the spectrum with the 2dF facility on the AAT. Of these, 156
have been identified as J-type (i.e. 13C-rich) carbon stars using a technique
which provides a clear distinction between J stars and the normal N-type carbon
stars that comprise the bulk of the sample, and yields few borderline cases. A
simple 2-D classification of the spectra, based on their spectral slopes in
different wavelength regions, has been constructed and found to be related to
the more conventional c- and j-indices, modified to suit the spectral regions
observed. Most of the J stars form a photometric sequence in the K - (J-K)
colour magnitude diagram, parallel to and 0.6 mag fainter than the N star
sequence. A subset of the J stars (about 13 per cent) are brighter than this J
star sequence; most of these are spectroscopically different from the other J
stars. The bright J stars have stronger CN bands than the other J stars and are
found strongly concentrated in the central regions of the LMC. Most of the
rather few stars in common with Hartwick and Cowley's sample of suspected CH
stars are J stars. Overall, the proportion of carbon stars identified as J
stars is somewhat lower than has been found in the Galaxy. The Na D lines are
weaker in the LMC J stars than in either the Galactic J stars or the LMC N
stars, and do not seem to depend on temperature.Comment: 19 pages, 21 figures, Latex; in press, MNRA
Supersymmetric Yang-Mills-Chern-Simons theory
We prove that three-dimensional N=1 supersymmetric Yang-Mills-Chern-Simons
theory is finite to all loops. This leaves open the possibility that different
regularization methods give different finite effective actions. We show that
for this model dimensional regularization and regularization by dimensional
reduction yield the same effective action.Comment: 6 pages, 1 figure, latex, espcrc2. Contribution to the Proceedings of

g-on Mean Field Theory of the t-J Model
Implication of our recent proposal [J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. 65 (1996) 687] to
treat large-amplitude gauge-field fluctuations around the slave-boson
mean-field theory for the t-J model has been explored in detail. By attaching
gauge flux to spinons and holons and then treating them as free g-on's which
respect the time-reversal symmetry, the optimum exclusion (g) and exchange (\a)
statistics have been determined in the plane of doping rate and temperature.
Two different relations between \a and g have been investigated, namely g=|\a|
(Case1) and g=|\a|(2-|\a|) (Case2). The results indicate that slave fermion is
favored at low doping while slave boson at high doping. For two dimension, in
Case1 intermediate statistics are found in between, while in Case2 no
intermediate statistics are found. The consequences of varying the
dimensionality and strength of J have been studied also. The latter has no
qualitative effect for both cases, while the former has a profound effect in
Case1.Comment: 18 pages, 11 figures two of them are figure 8; submitted to Phys.

Coexistence of Superconductivity and Antiferromagnetism in Heavy-Fermion Superconductor CeCu_{2}(Si_{1-x}Ge_{x})_{2} Probed by Cu-NQR --A Test Case for the SO(5) Theory--
We report on the basis of Cu-NQR measurements that superconductivity (SC) and
antiferromagnetism (AF) coexist on a microscopic level in
CeCu_{2}(Si_{1-x}Ge_{x})_{2}, once a tiny amount of 1%Ge (x = 0.01) is
substituted for Si. This coexistence arises because Ge substitution expands the
unit-cell volume in nearly homogeneous CeCu2Si2 where the SC coexists with
slowly fluctuating magnetic waves. We propose that the underlying exotic phases
of SC and AF in either nearly homogeneous or slightly Ge substituted CeCu2Si2
are accountable based on the SO(5) theory that unifies the SC and AF. We
suggest that the mechanism of the SC and AF is common in CeCu2Si2.Comment: 7 pages with 6 figures embedded in the text. To be published in J.
