Phase Diagram of Lattice-Spin System RbCoBr
We study the lattice-spin model of RbCoBr which is proposed by Shirahata
and Nakamura, by mean field approximation. This model is an Ising spin system
on a distorted triangular lattice. There are two kinds of frustrated variables,
that is, the lattice and spin. We obtain a phase diagram of which phase
boundary is drawn continuously in a whole region. Intermediate phases that
include a partial disordered state appear. The model has the first-order phase
transitions in addition to the second-order phase transitions. We find a
three-sublattice ferrimagnetic state in the phase diagram. The three-sublattice
ferrimagnetic state does not appear when the lattice is not distorted.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures, jpsj2.cls, to be published in J. Phys. Soc. Jpn.

Crystalline and magnetic ordering in the monoclinic phase of the layered perovskite PAMC
Study of Magnetic Excitation in Singlet-Ground-State Magnets CsFeCl and RbFeCl by Nuclear Magnetic Relaxation
The temperature dependences of spin-lattice relaxation time of
Cs in CsFeCl and Rb in RbFeCl were measured in the
temperature range between 1.5 K and 22 K, at various fields up to 7 T applied
parallel (or perpendicular) to the c-axis, and the analysis was made on the
basis of the DCEFA. The mechanism of the nuclear magnetic relaxation is
interpreted in terms of the magnetic fluctuations which are characterized by
the singlet ground state system. In the field region where the phase transition
occurs, exhibited the tendency of divergence near , and
this feature was ascribed to the transverse spin fluctuation associated with
the mode softening at the -point. It was found that the damping constant of
the soft mode is remarkably affected by the occurrence of the magnetic ordering
at lower temperature, and increases largely in the field region where the phase
transition occurs.Comment: 12 pages, 18 figures, submitted to J. Phys. Soc. Jp
Geometrical quadrupolar frustration in DyB
Physical properties of DyB have been studied by magnetization, specific
heat, and ultrasonic measurements. The magnetic entropy change and the
ultrasonic properties in the intermediate phase II indicate that the degeneracy
of internal degrees of freedom is not fully lifted in spite of the formation of
magnetic order. The ultrasonic attenuation and the huge softening of
in phase II suggests existence of electric-quadrupolar (orbital) fluctuations
of the 4-electron. These unusual properties originate from the geometrical
quadrupolar frustration.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, accepted for publication in Journal of the

Dynamical Structure Factors of the Spin-1/2 XXZ Chain with Inverse-Square Exchange and Ising Anisotropy
The dynamical properties of the S=1/2 antiferromagnetic XXZ chain are studied
by the exact diagonalization and the recursion method of finite systems up to
24 sites. Two types of the exchange interaction are considered: one is the
nearest-neighbor type, and the other is the inverse-square one. As the Ising
anisotropy becomes larger, there appears a noticeable difference in the
transverse component S^{xx}(q,\omega) between the two types of the exchange.
For the nearest-neighbor type, the peak frequency of S^{xx}(q,\omega) for each
q approaches the center of the continuum spectrum. On the contrary, the peak
frequency for the inverse-square type moves to the upper edge of the continuum,
and separates from the continuum for the anisotropy larger than the threshold
value. Whether the interaction between domain walls (solitons) is absent or
repulsive in the Ising limit leads to this difference in the behavior of
S^{xx}(q,\omega). In the longitudinal component S^{zz}(q,\omega), on the other
hand, the feature of the dynamics is scarcely different between the two types.
The energy gap and the static properties are also discussed.Comment: 10 pages. A hard copy of 16 figures is available on request.

Highly diastereoselective synthesis of substituted pyrrolidines using a sequence of azomethine ylide cycloaddition and nucleophilic cyclization
Abstract: Although cycloadditions of azomethine ylides usually give mixtures of endo/exo adducts, we successfully tuned the mechanistic path of a new reaction cascade to afford substituted pyrrolidines in high yields and diastereomeric purity. This was achieved by forcing the demetalation of tin- or silicon-substituted iminium ions, followed by azomethine ylide cycloaddition and nucleophilic cyclization. Structural complexity is thus built rapidly in a fully controlled one-pot reaction cascade
