Energy dependence of -"" effective potential derived from coupled-channel Green's function
We investigate the energy dependence of a single-channel effective potential
between the and the ""-core nucleus, which can be obtained as an
-"" equivalent local potential from a coupled-channel model for
- systems. It turns out that the imaginary part of
the resultant potential near the decay threshold can well
approximate the phase space suppression factor of
decay modes. The effects on the pole position of the state in
the channel are also discussed.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, Proceedings of the International Conference on

muSR study of the Cu-spin dynamics in the electron-doped high-Tc cuprate of Pr0.86LaCe0.14Cu1-y(Zn,Ni)yO4
Effects of the Zn- and Ni-substitution on the Cu-spin dynamics in the
electron-doped Pr0.86LaCe0.14Cu1-y(Zn,Ni)yO4+a-d with y = 0, 0.01, 0.02, 0.05
and different values of the reduced oxygen content d have been studied using
zero-field muon-spin-relaxation (muSR) measurements at temperatures down to 2
K. For the as-grown sample (d = 0, y = 0) and the sample with a very small d
value (d < 0.01, y = 0), a muon-spin precession due to long-range
antiferromagnetic order has been observed. On the other hand, no precession has
been observed for moderately oxygen-reduced samples (0.01 < d < 0.09). It has
been found that for all the samples of 0.01 < d < 0.09 the asymmetry A(t) (muSR
time spectrum) in the long-time region increases with decreasing temperature at
low temperatures, suggesting possible slowing-down of the Cu-spin fluctuations.
On the other hand, no significant difference between Zn- and Ni-substitution
effects on the slowing down of the Cu-spin fluctuations has been observed.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, Proceeding of 10th muSR conference 2005, to be

Novel Electronic State and Superconductivity in the Electron-Doped High-Tc T'-Superconductors
In this review article, we show our recent results relating to the undoped
(Ce-free) superconductivity in the electron-doped high-Tc cuprates with the
so-called T' structure. For an introduction, we briefly mention the
characteristics of the electron-doped T'-cuprates, including the reduction
annealing, conventional phase diagram and undoped superconductivity. Then, our
transport and magnetic results and results relating to the superconducting
pairing symmetry of the undoped and underdoped T'-cuprates are shown.
Collaborating spectroscopic and nuclear magnetic resonance results are also
shown briefly. It has been found that, through the reduction annealing, a
strongly localized state of carriers accompanied by an antiferromagnetic
pseudogap in the as-grown samples changes to a metallic and superconducting
state with a short-range magnetic order in the reduced superconducting samples.
The formation of the short-range magnetic order due to a very small amount of
excess oxygen in the reduced superconducting samples suggests that the
T'-cuprates exhibiting the undoped superconductivity in the parent compounds
are regarded as strongly correlated electron systems, as well as the hole-doped
high-Tc cuprates. We show our proposed electronic structure model to understand
the undoped superconductivity. Finally, unsolved future issues of the
T'-cuprates are discussed.Comment: 13 pages, 8 figure
Muon-spin-relaxation and magnetic-susceptibility studies of effects of the magnetic impurity Ni on the Cu-spin dynamics and superconductivity in La_2-x_Sr_x_Cu_1-y_Ni_y_O_4_ with x = 0.13
Effects of the magnetic impurity Ni on the Cu-spin dynamics and
superconductivity have been studied in La_2-x_Sr_x_Cu_1-y_Ni_y_O_4_ with x =
0.13 changing y finely up to 0.10. Compared with the case of the nonmagnetic
impurity Zn, it has been found from the muon-spin-relaxation measurements that
a large amount of Ni is required to stabilize a magnetic order of Cu spins.
However, the evolution toward the stabilization of the magnetic order with
increasing impurity concentration is qualitatively similar to each other. The
area of the non-superconducting and slowly fluctuating or static region of Cu
spins around Ni has been found to be smaller than that around Zn, suggesting
that the pinning of rather long-ranged dynamical spin correlation such as the
so-called dynamical stripe by Ni is weaker than that by Zn. This may be the
reason why Zn destroys the superconductivity in the hole-doped high-T_c_
cuprates more markedly than Ni.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, accepted for publication in Phys. Rev.
Effect of the shape anisotropy on the magnetic configuration of (Ga,Mn)As and its evolution with temperature
We study the effect of the shape anisotropy on the magnetic domain
configurations of a ferromagnetic semiconductor (Ga,Mn)As/GaAs(001) epitaxial
wire as a function of temperature. Using magnetoresistance measurements, we
deduce the magnetic configurations and estimate the relative strength of the
shape anisotropy compared with the intrinsic anisotropies. Since the intrinsic
anisotropy is found to show a stronger temperature dependence than the shape
anisotropy, the effect of the shape anisotropy on the magnetic domain
configuration is relatively enhanced with increasing temperature. This
information about the shape anisotropy provides a practical means of designing
nanostructured spin electronic devices using (Ga,Mn)As.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, to appear in J. Appl. Phy
Absence of the impurity-induced magnetic order in the electron-doped high-T_c_ cuprates Pr_0.86_LaCe_0.14_Cu_1-y_(Zn, Ni)_y_O_4_
Zero-field muon-spin-relaxation measurements have been carried out in order
to investigate the Zn- and Ni-substitution effects on the Cu-spin dynamics in
the electron-doped Pr_0.86_LaCe_0.14_Cu_1-y_(Zn, Ni)_y_O_4+\alpa-\delta_ with y
= 0, 0.01, 0.02, 0.05 and different values of the reduced oxygen content
\delta(\delta \le 0.09). For the samples with y = 0 and very small \delta
values of \delta < 0.01, a muon-spin precession due to the formation of a
long-range antiferromagnetic order has been observed at low temperatures below
\~ 5 K. For the moderately oxygen-reduced samples of 0.01 \le \delta \le 0.09,
on the contrary, no muon-spin precession has been observed and the temperature
dependence of the spectra is similar to one another regardless of the y value.
That is, no impurity-induced slowing down of the Cu-spin fluctuations has been
detected, which is very different from the results of the hole-doped high-T_c_
cuprates. The reason is discussed.Comment: 13 pages, 2 figures, Proceedings of ISS2004 (to be published in

Ambiguities of theoretical parameters and CP/T violation in neutrino factories
We study the optimal setup for observation of the CP asymmetry in neutrino
factory experiments --- the baseline length, the muon energy and the analysis
method. First, we point out that the statistical quantity which has been used
in previous works doesn't represent the CP asymmetry. Then we propose the more
suitable quantity, , which is sensitive to the CP
asymmetry. We investigate the behavior of with ambiguities of
the theoretical parameters. The fake CP asymmetry due to the matter effect
increases with the baseline length and hence the error in the estimation of the
fake CP asymmetry grows with the baseline length due to the ambiguities of the
theoretical parameters. Namely, we lose the sensitivity to the genuine
CP-violation effect in longer baseline.Comment: 8pages, 2figures, Talk given by J. Sato at Joint U.S. / Japan

Relation between shrinkage effect and compression of rotational spectrum in Li hypernucleus
It has been shown experimentally that the Li nucleus shrinks by adding a
particle while its spectrum is also compressed. We discuss the
compatibility of these two effects, contrasting also with a relation between
the shrinkage effect and the stability of the spectrum in the Be
hypernucleus. To this end, we employ two-body -He and
-He cluster models for the Li and
Be hypernuclei, respectively. We first argue that a Gaussian-like
interaction between two clusters leads to a stabilization of the spectrum
against an addition of a particle, even though the intercluster
distance is reduced. In the case of Li, the spin-orbit interaction
between the intercluster motion and the deuteron spin has to be considered
also. We show that the shrinkage effect makes the expectation value of the
spin-orbit potential larger, lowering the excitation energy for the
Li( level.Comment: 8 pages, 8 eps figure
